3 days ago I started developing large lumps behind my ears, which I originally thought to be lymph nodes? There is one directly behind my left ear which has streched from mid ear down to the lobe (squishy) one that is located at the bottom left hand of my shull that is the diameter of a quarter, is swollen severely, and is super sore to touch (hard), and then a smaller one just like that right below it. Behind my right ear I have one that is about the size of a penny and is also very hard. Then I found one on the left side of my neck yesterday, which I believe is a lypoma?. it is squishy and doesn't hurt also very movable whereas the rest are stationary. The large one located at the bottom of my skull is extremely sore, and I believe is continuing to grow... I have been very stressed lately with college, and moving out that I don't know if I just didn't notice them, or if they just developed. I've also been having headaches that I believe are developing due to the pain from the lower left lump. I also cannot lay on the left side of my head because it is too painful.

Is there any information anyone can give me?. I'm really scared, and don't have health insurance because I have been extremely healthy my whole life, very active, and a genuinly happy person. Cancer runs high in my family, so I'm really scared and I just need someone's insight on this situation!!
