What Causes Pea Size Lump Under Right Arm?

I discovered a pea size knot under my right arm, when I press on it, it feels as if the mass may be the size of a grape. I have had cancer twice. At the beginning of this year tests have been very good and the doctors said they need not see me for one year. I am frightened.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having enlarged axillary lymph nodes giving rise knot and and lump.
As there is h/o cancer, keep watch on it and if size increased or becomes painful, get it removed and go for biopsy.
Ok and take care.
