Can you go to a surgeon? That's what I did when I felt a pea size lump in my neck, cut to the chase I told myself. But, if your doctor suspected anything, I suspect he would have referred you to a surgeon. Just my thoughts, sometimes for your own peace of mind, you need to take the step yourself instead of waiting for a doctor's referral.
From my experience, most competent doctors pretty much can tell by touch if a lump is suspecious so I guess if you trust your doctor, that should suffice. Another thought is to call him and ask what he thinks it may be? I had a friend who had a lump in her groin - it was caused by an infected hangnail on her toe!
