Lumps in armpit/pectoral area

About a week ago I had some slight, annoying pain in my upper right arm. I brushed it off as maybe sleeping wrong on it. A few days after the pain subsided, I woke up with some mild discomfort in my armpit. I reached my hand up and felt a lump which I'm assuming is a lymph node. It is down off the bottom of my armpit, almost not even in my armpit but off the side of my breast. It barely causes me any pain but it freaked me out. I have an appointment to see my GP, but she can't get me in for 2 weeks. I of course am thinking the worst. Googling things as I shouldn't because all signs point to cancer. I woke up the next day and have a second swollen node a few inches above it. That one is actually in my armpit. Anybody else experience this? I am a 33 year old female.
