A member asked:
Had lump in upper left side of neck for 3yrs no symptoms until recently, small short headaches. can this be a cancer tumor? size changes, not hard.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can this be a cancer: Cancer can indeed grow and metastasize. Size alone or softness/hardness , headaches are not good enough to definitive diagnose cancer. A biopsy and or scans are helpful tests.
