Growths over Clavicle

Has anyone ever had growths or swelling above their Clavicle on both sides or on one.  If so what did your doctor say it was.  I have been to my primary physician who is an Internal Medicine doctor, he says he thinks it is just fat.  Rheumatologist says similiar things.  I had breast cancer 2 years ago and had that breast removed.  My Oncologist had an ultrasound done and nothing at all was seen. I tried to tell them they needed to do it with me sitting up.  They didn't listen.  Now my Oncologist is having a CT done of it, but says if it shows nothing that he won't do any other test.  

What can I do? Where can I go? Help anyone.

Are the growths or swellings sitting above or below the skin?  How many do you have exactly?  

Well...get the CT done and go from there.
