Lump in neck 4 months post HCV tx

Hello, I discovered a lump in my neck above the thyroid about 5 weeks ago.  Thinking it would go away I waited til two weeks ago to tell my doctor about it.  She ordered a CT Scan with contrast.  I was hesitant to put any more chemicals in my body so did not want to get the contrast.  As  always, Hector was very helpful; he assured me it would be ok.  I had the scan done yesterday and should be getting results this week.  I am very afraid that I now have something else related to either the HCV or tx.  I had hoped that it was something related to my thyroid however my doctor does not think it is.  I am trying not to freak out though it is difficult.  An acquaintance of mine died of lymphoma, he also had HCV.  I have been trying not to look anything up until I get the results.  
Has anyone else discovered a lump in their neck?  
Thank you
Dee

Thank you all again for your kind words and support.
Funny thing, my doctor now wants me to come in on Monday to see her.  Not sure why, I saw her yesterday, she drew blood to check my kidneys and told me to see an ENT doctor.
I am just going to enjoy the weekend and try not to worry about what this all means.
The scan says both spots are 1cm and etiology of the finding is unclear.
Thank you again
