A Lump In The Collarbone Clavicle.Is It Cancer Or Lymph Nodes?

I discovered a lump nmy collarbone clavicle last week, my chest hurts and there are shooting pains up my rigt arm and shoulder. I did go to the Dr had chest and clavicle xray - both were negative. He order a CAT scan which was completed Friday - I do not have results yet. It was with an iodine contrast. I am worried and it has already grown in size. Could this be cancer or lymph nodes issues?
