I noticed lump just below collarbone2 mnths ago. End of dec. Quartersized, today looks like a golf ball under my skin hard but usually not painful. Ive sweated heavy but mostly at night and sometimes I feel really hot. More tired than usual. Sweating has been going on long before lump thought it was female age thing, Im a 49 year old  smoker. This thing has doubled in size in 5 weeks, can it wait another 5 weeks to be checked?(when I have insurance) Dont know if its important or not but my urine is really strong and smells. Been drinking lots if water and doesnt seem to help.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have tuberculosis, lymphoma or metastatic carcinoma.  You should not wait for another 5 weeks.  Furthermore, you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy urgently.  Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
