Lump above collarbone on right side

Hi everyone,

Looking for a little reassurance.

This week I found a lump literally on the collarbon about 3 to for inches from the centre so not near the neck.

When I put my arm down by side it is below the collarbone. If i put my arm up or hunch my shoulders it is on top.

It is on the right hand side. When I poke it with my finger it moves. When I pinch it, it feels slight spongy/rubbery.

I went to see the GP and at first she said it's a lymph node but then when she examined my chest and breasts, she said she feels it could be a lipoma. She said if it is a lymph node then they need to find out why it's up. This worries me as I know raise nodes on collarbones are not a good thing.

She referred me for an ultrasound and they called me to book it today for in 2 weeks time.

It appeared out of nowhere.

I have no other symptoms other than anxiety. 

Any thoughts?
