Hi, I have a small gumball sized lump (but not round, its a little elongated) on the left side of my neck, about 2cm from my jawline. I can feel my pulse in it, and I can move it around a little. It is not painful. Doc thought it was a lymph node, but after two courses of antibiotics and almost 2.5 months, it s still there and getting bigger. I m seeing an ENT tomorrow. I have a STRONG family history of cancer; what should I ask the ENT?
