hello 

around 2 years ago I noticed a lump on my right sternocleidomastoid muscle on the upper half just under my jaw bow .

It was and still is around 1 cm in circumference. It seems to be attactched to the muscle or an extension of the muscle . I can squeeze it with 2 fingers and move it. It is painless and causes me no problems.. 

I have no night sweats my weight is stable and I’m in good condition.

I’m 49 and have smoked for 25 years but have always kept myself in good shape 

I’m of course worried about this lump but also petrified to go to the Dr 

do you have any advise 

. Also the lump doesn’t seem to get any bigger
