What Does Soft Rubbery Almond Sized Lump On Left Side Of Neck Signify?

I am a 32 year old male. I have a soft rubbery almond sized lump of the lower left side of my neck. Dr asked for blood work as well all ultrasound which I am waiting for the results of. Was told they expected it to be nothing but have become very concerned. Would other symptoms be present if it was cancerous?

hi dear. there r so many things to be seen before saying something. the chances of it being cancer are less as u described it. cancerous lumps are usually hard and multiple. it could be tubercular also, or inflammatory. an FNAC from it will give u the confirmation. do't worry. even if it is cancer i m sure we can treat it.
