its been three months since I first saw it, It feels like its on the neck muscle if there is such. its on my right side of the body and all other aches are on that right hand side
I tire easily since I first observed this
I can only get to the specialist in a months time but I am worried my family has a history of cancer

Brief Answer:
As detailed below.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the feedback, partial though.
Since the lump has been noticed since 3 months, I would advise you the following:
Clinical evaluation preferably by a General Surgeon.
Ultrasonography of the neck for the lump and FNAC that is fine needle aspiration cytology.This will help us the most.
If the clinical evaluation indicates, MRI of the cervical spine to see for cervical spondilitis and CT scan/MRI of the brain as lesions in these can cause one sided body ache.
Blood tests as already advised above.
Take multivitamins as anti-oxidants as you tire easily.
Vitamin D in therapeutic dose if the blood tests indicates so.
Treatment of the lump in the neck as per the reports.
Treatment as per other reports and clinical evaluation.
I hope this answer helps you to get a proper diagnosis and curative treatment.
Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
