I've had this for a while, but I never
really cared about it until now. For at
least 4-5 years I have had this hard lump
near my collar bone. It is extremely
mobile (not usually associated with
cancer) I can pull it down infront of my
collar bone (where it usually resides, or
push it up behind my collarbone) I can
also push it back and forth in the other
directions. If it were a swollen
lymphnode: 1 I don't think it would be
swollen for years, and 2 the location of
the lymphnodes are behind the collar bone
and the fact this lump resides infront
doesn't suggest it's a hardened lymphode 3
a lymphnode wouldn't be able to move up
and over the collar bone and go behind it
and back infront of it correct?
Everything looks like it should be a
benign growth, it hasn't changed in size
at all. I'm going to have it looked at
by my family doc just in case, but am I
wrong in thinking it sounds like a benign
growth?
