Lumps on neck and face

Question

Asked for Female, 34 Years

For more than 15 years I had a lump(grown to almost the size of table tennis ball now) growing below my ear-lobe and behind lower jaw(lymph node I assume). A couple of years ago, I also noticed a new lump coming up above my mandible and in front of my ear(where another lymph node seems to be). I have also had persistent fatigue for almost 15 years and in the past 12 years it has been debilitating. The lumps are painless. Am concerned because they seem to be spreading. Should I worry?
