I've had 2 lumps in my neck for around 3 years now and never bothered me, but last year I found another one not much further back than my ear, it's under the skin, never changed, nothing. Until yesterday I felt like a spot, obviously picked at it and it swelled up, now I'm scared that the lumps got bigger and I have something wrong with me. It's probably been there about a year and a half thinking about it?
It scares me because I've grown up with a lot of my grandads side having a lot of cancer issues, his best friend is dying of it ( he has months left) my great gramma died of breast cancer and his sisters daughter got lymphoma at 26, and she had a hugggeeeee lump on the side of her neck, but she's better now thankfully :)
I'm worried that my lump had got bigger when I know it hasn't :(

I think after this long you will probably be having more symptoms by now.

If you worried see a GP and dont Google, try not to pick at all as well.

My mother in law had lymphoma recently (and is now recovered) and it grew very very rapidly. After three years you would be very seriously ill. If you're worried see a doctor, but after all this time I wouldn't think it's possible to be what you're scared of.
