Should I Be Concerned About A Bump That Appeared Under The Armpit And Another In The Neck ?

Hi my son is seven years old with no health problems. I have recently found a pea size bumpunder is arm in his arm pit the gp said it felt like a cyst and recommended keeping an eye opn it. I have just found another in his neck on the same side of his body. It is about the same size and same consistency. It also moves freely. Should I be concerned and what can I have him chexcked for. Cancer runsdeeply in my family
