Cysts?: This doesn't sound like cancer. I'm wondering idly whether these are bilateral first branchial cleft cysts that expand when you lie down. If they're fixed to surrounding tissues or growing or causing pain, a physician's office visit is in order.

Lymph nodes: Cancerous lymph nodes do not come and go. Without a full history and physical it's hard to know exactly what is bothering you.
