Are these lumps in my neck cancer?

For the last week I have felt two oval shaped lumps in my neck 10-15 mms in height and 5-10 mms in width. (the ovals are positioned upright, parallel to my neck) located right above my Adams apple. I am able to roll them somewhat under my fingers but they are not completely free standing-I can only move them so far before they slip under my finger. The lumps are quite firm but not what I would imagine rock hard would feel like. About a week before I discovered these lumps I had a cold(which I rarely, if ever get) with a sore throat and all sorts of sinus problems. The lumps are both painless at the moment but my throat starts to feel like it's closing-(it feels like my toung is too big for the back of my throat) if I mess with them for a while. If I don't mess with them I kind of forget that they're there. I also found a lump of simmilar size, shape, and texture in my groin. I had an ultrasound and was told it was a left epididymal head simple cyst but I'm questioning that diagnosis now because of the similarities between that lump and the lumps on my neck. By the way, I'm an 18 year old male in pretty good shape. Do you think I have lymphoma? Thanks for your help.

You are giving no reason to think you have lymphoma.
If you continue to have sinus problems see your doctor you could have allergies.

Not a doctor..just play one on TV. No really.

I am actually surfing the net right now to keep my mind off of the results of needle biopsies for masses in my neck. But let's try a few things. Can you get a release from the ER for that ultrasound - photos & reading? Can you get an appointment for an endocrinologist? The ultrasound will provide a very good baseline for the new docs as they take a look at everything.

A little about me. I'm 34 F and have had a thyroid condition called hashimoto's thyroiditis since 1994. After what seemed to be a thyroid disease under control, they have found lumps (nodules) on my thyroid that are not normal and are testing for cancer.

The great news is thyroid cancer is very treatable and very uncommon in males, but my young (28) friend just had to have some nodules removed.
