There are no doctors open as it is 2:30 am and i am so scared..please help Doctor: Welcome to Healthcare Magic.. All lumps are not necessarily due to cancer..  However given the family history of multiple cancers it is better to consult your GP.. likely it is a benign enlargement of the nodes of the neck..  Just have a physical exam including ENT exam followed by FNAC or Biopsy if indicated..  Hope this helps answer your question
