I found a lump below right side of jawline 3 weeks ago. today i went to doctor, he checked & told me it is 5mm, semi-hard but movable. he asked me to wait for 1 month & return if it grows. it hurts only you press hard. i'm stressed. can it be cancer?

It could be cancer: but at your age it is more likely to be something else. If you are too concerned to wait a month then find a different health care provider who will agree to have it removed and analyzed.

Possible lymph: node reaction to something. What is your oral health like? See a dentist asap to rule out a problem originating from the mouth.
