Back in 2019/2020 I found a pea size lump near my collar bone on the right side. Forgot about it and recently felt it and is still there. My neck has been extra stiff on right side, been having trouble swallowing at times. Lots of weight loss. Headaches, earaches, fatigue, fevers often. Could this be a type of cancer?

Yes - as others have said you need to go to the Dr. The lump and the symptoms may or may not be related.... From my journey's experience the weight loss and fatigue are significant. However, the body is complex so it could be many things.
I would think if you start with your PCP that they would order labs at a bare minimum. Would also expect you to be referred onto others for more expertise and testing. Maybe dermatologist or other type of specialist might recognize the lump as something textbook benign an/or could suggest a biopsy to be certain. As you prepare, I would maybe read some basic Lymphoma symptom articles here. Please also ask your Dr what you should be reading / tracking / doing to assist in the process. Good Luck.
