First of all, You should undergo a simple needle test from the nodule (FNAC).This will tell us about the nature of the nodule, whether or not it is likely to be lymphoma or is it some other disease. If it is indeed cancerous and needs to be taken out, then waiting on it till the new year is not a good option and i would strongly suggest that you see another surgeon for an earlier appointment.
