I had a cancer in my left lung that was operated on and followed up with chemo. It has been 2 years and not returned.

However I have a nodule on my right lung which had been there since the 2 years and has grown in a couple of millimetres in size -very small. The surgeon says he is 95% sure it is cancer although it is not glowing on the PET/CT scan I had. The question is whether to have it removed by an operation (and I am obese also) or he also mentioned radiotherapy or shall I sit tight? I have no symptoms.
