Your doc maybe right: It is normal for small lymph nodes to be slightly palpable. However, if they are painful, getting larger, or feel like they are stuck within the tissue (not mobile), then you need to bring this to your doctor's attention again. Check your axilla once a week, but not every day because you may irritate the node by constant pressing. Tell your doctor if it's getting larger and maybe get ultrasound.
