Hi everyone,

First time posting.

I'm 32/F and completely freaked out. I do have an appointment with my Primary Doctor tomorrow but I'm having a really hard time not completely losing it. I found about 4 small squishy mobile lumps underneath my clavicle notch. I could deal with that BUT THEN I found a larger hard lump to the left of the little lumps almost directly under my clavicle. I can't add a picture of it as I don't have enough posts.

I do have a bunch of lipomas, but for some reason these are scaring me. Probably because I started googling. Now, I'm certain I have lymphoma, bone cancer or some other terrible cancer. I found out recently I have Hashimotos, but no one has actually touched my thyroid area. So yeah, throw thyroid cancer in the mix. Common sense tells me the hard lump is probably related to the popping (like cracking my knuckles) I have happen that seems to come from my clavicle/sternum (~5 years).


Can anyone talk me off a ledge? Not literally.

:-)

Went into Doctor today. I have way more lumps than I thought. She suspects those are lipomas. However, the big hard lump is a cause for concern so I have an ultrasound next Tuesday.

I think I'm coming down with a chest cold, which is making this so much scarier.
