What Do Lumps In The Throat Indicate?

Okay so I went to my family doctor 2 months ago about weight loss im only 103lbs but i originally was 160 & lost it all within a span of 3 months. I went in to the er when I noticed a lump on my in my throat close to my jaw that could move up onto my face. They found not only the one I had found but said they felt 6-7, They told me I was going to see a throat specialist in a month& that's the best they could do, so I waited & no call. I got into my family doctor again only about a week ago and told her all of my symptoms once again. I also told her I had started drinking GMC weight gain drink mix to help atleast put meat on my bones. She had asked me several questions about my eating habits & finally left me off with a prescription for zolee, for silent reflex. She gave me another appointment scheduled to be in 2 days, however I noticed only tonight that I now have 2 lumps that are able to move up onto my face. Im scared and just want some peace. I've heard things like cysts, tumors, lymph nodes, to even cancer. Please help.

Hello,

The lumps in throat indicate possible adenoid enlargement or some tumors. I strongly recommend undertaking a CT scan of the region for the best possible guidelines and further management.
