It's hard, I know, but i'd wait until you have a diagnosis before searching the internet. I had a lump in my neck that wouldn't go away. My doc scheduled an MRI. The lump turned out to be a red herring. They found a brain aneurysm. It's fixed and all is well. The moral of the story is, as difficult as it is, wait until you know what you're actually dealing with.
Take care and God bless.
