Lumps Questions

i have a lump in my neck above my collar bone on my left side i noticed ths lump a while back maybe a year or 2 ago never bothered me but now because im worried about it its starting to bother me and hurt me a bit. i went to my gp to be refered to a specialist because i have private health and my gp didnt give me a specialists name but told me i have to find out who i want my self in clementine churchill which i dont understand and my GP wont just give me a name because my insurance needs a name. im very worried im going for an x ray and scan but i want to go and speak again to my gp and see why he isnt making this easy for me. when i get my xray and scan also will that tell me for sure if its cancer ? im very worried. what else could it be.. also can it be cancer when i have had it for a couple of years? could it have started off as just a lump and grown to be cancer?

I have a couple of lumps, what could they be? hello, i have a medical issue. I have a couple of lumps which are above my anus and either side of cheeks at the very base of my spine. they get bigger ever few weeks and then get smaller. i have just returned from a yr of travelling and they did bleed a couple of times when i was away. They can get uncomfortable when i am sitting for long periods. Do you know what it could be? Thanks
