Hi, i've mentioned this in the skin disorder forum too because I just don't know what it is. Cancer runs very high in my family, so I thought i'd ask here too. I have a lump on my neck an inch or so above my collar bone. It appeared two to three weeks ago and was about the size of a pencil eraser. Now it is dime-sized (although oval shaped). It does not hurt or itch even with pressure. It is stiff in consistency and is partly below the surface, partly swollen above. It is on my left side right on the front corner of my neck. I am concerned because it appeared so fast. I am not having trouble swallowing, breathing or with my throat. Does this sound remotely cancerous (i'm going to see my doc, but can't get in til next week and i'm nervous while waiting). Thanks!
