Good for you on the cigarettes! That is certainly one giant step in the right direction. If you really don't know how long it has been, by all means have it checked it. A handful of days won't make that huge of a difference if you want to wait. You are the only one that can measure what peace of mind means to you.
I am hoping it is nothing to be of concern to you and welcome to the neighborhood.
