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
