I'm seeing a dr but does this sound like cancer or just a vaccine reaction?

Question

I have a hard round lump in the middle of my armpit deep down,it's a lymph node clearly. The area hurts and just started hurting 1 day ago. I had my covid shot in that same arm a WEEK,almost 2wks ago. I'm really worried. It's hard and very very slightly moves but not much. Is this cancer!? I'm really worried. I don't know if it was there before my shot.

Update:

It's nickel sized. It's sometimes hard to find then I feel again

Update 2:

The covid vaccine literally causes swollen lymph nodes. The cdc said. You're wrong

ITs not cancer 
you are to young for that kind of cancer

Swollen lymph nodes are an immune response... it's probably a reaction to the vaccine but you can get it checked to be sure.

The ONLY way to get a diagnosis is to see a doctor, rather than spamming this site with repetetive questions.

It's impossible to say for sure without a doctor's exam.  But, lymph node swelling has been reported by 12% of the people who have received the Moderna vaccine and even less people who have received the Pfizer vaccine.

Your doctor will run a test to see. I have no thoughts on it being cancer or a reaction to the vaccine. You will find out from a professional.
