Welcome to the forum but puleeeeeze next time you find a lump, don't wait a month and 2 days to get it checked out just because you already have an appointment. I'm cetain if you had called the doctor back in October, he would have seen you almost immediately and saved you a month of worry and lost treatment time if it is metatsis. As David said, it should be biopsied either surgically or FNA. Good luck tomorrow.
Take care,
Eileen
