Hello everyone !
I am a new member and I have a question cuz I am so scared. About 3 weeks go I woke up with what felt like a stiff neck, as I was rubbing my neck I notice a small lump right above my collarbone. Ohhhh I just freaked. First thing I thought of was cancer.... Oh my god I have cancer. The lump does not hurt it is mushy and I can roll it between my figers if I play with it. Sometimes I can't feel it but if I move my arms a certain way I can feel it. It hasn't changed size in 3 weeks but I am always touching it cuz I know it's there.

I just had a breast exam back in oct. And in june I was in the hospital where I had a full work up of blood and everything was fine.

Everything I have read points to cancer. I guess that isn't a good place to have a lump.

Please help me !

I Wouldnt Worry

2 years ago now I found a lump just in the same place and straight away thought the same.
Me being a typical male didnt tell anyone and just worried myself sick.I eventually went to the doctors about this and it turned out to be nothing but a swollen gland.

Dont worry yourself.Its just going to make you feel ill in the process.Go to the doctors
