Hello....
You have got surgery and chemo radiation for your anal cancer...nd as u have lump near ut anal canal may be due to some cause.... as it is painful its more likely to be infectious...
Becoz chemo and radiation also lowers the immunity of body...
Better to confirm and rule out new malignency primarily a sonographic scan would be a better option...along with routine blood investigation...
That will lead us to a proper dignosis and treatment
