I have for years a place in my neck that is near my original positive enlarged node. This "place" feels like a soft lump and has caused me plenty of panic attacks when I discover it. Interestingly, when I would press on it a sharp momentary pain would follow with the "lump" would deflate. I assumed it was a pocket of trapped lymph. It would come and go very infrequently. I am interested to hear that some others have had similar "things" happen. I will stress that you should have these things checked out by the pros.

Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
