I am sure there a numerous things that are not serious that the lumps could be, but the next time you go to your doctor, talk to him/her about lymphoma. I had Hodgkin's lymphoma, which is a CURABLE type of cancer. It starts in your lymph nodes, and some are located under your arms and in your chest. If you feel pain from pressing on the areas, than you might want to be a little concerned.
Other symptoms of Lymphoma include night sweats, fever, itchiness, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and anemia.

I am a breast cancer survivor. Malignant tumors of the breast are usually hard and fixed with no pain, mine felt like a rock inside my breast. A lump in your armpit is usually indicative of an infection and can be common. If it is not painful and gets larger then it can be a symptom of underlying illness. However, it is almost impossible for you to get breast cancer at 15 but you are wise to do monthly exams and bring your symptoms up to a doctor. Most women have many lumps in their breast that are harmless and come and go with hormonal changes such as the start of your period.

I am a cancer survior, you always want to double check with your doctor. But chances are at 15 you probably take in a lot of caffine. and their are caffine induced fibrostic cysts..which are harmless. Caffine comes in many forms...coffee, soda, chocolate, etc..cut back a little in these areas and see if the knots you are feeling start to get smaller if so then they are probably caffine induces....BUT have the doctor feel them ..
A good question to ask yourself is this..
If they hurt when you push or try to roll them......then it is not cancer.. it is a fibrostic cyst. These types of cyst are normally found in the arm pit and very likely at your age.
If they don't hurt and they will not move - SEEK a physician immediately! Not always cancer but something more serious to consider!

Send an e-mail to Support@PreventionProof.com and request Dr Delia Garcia's DVD on Breast Cancer. It's a free resource which is absolutely priceless.
Good luck,

Tell your mom or dad and see another doctor as soon as possible. It could be a number of things, but your doctor definitely shouldn't ignore it.
