Without an exam or diagnostics, it is impossible to determine what the lumps may or may not be. Cancer is rare in guinea pigs, though it is possible given her age. Infection or trauma are also possibilities. An exam with your veterinarian would be recommended. A fine needle aspirate can be done in the clinic to collect samples for pathology. This may provide a diagnosis after which treatment options can be discussed.
