General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi dear, After careful consideartion of your symptoms, in my opinion the lump above the left collar bone is a collection of enlarged lymph nodes, what we in medical jargon call Virchow's nodes. They indicate pathology in stomach. Contact a general surgeon for biopsy of nodes and a gastroenterologist for endoscopy of stomach. Do it on priority basis.
