Swollen Lymph nodes

I am 24yrs old, 3months ago I had a solid mass removed from my left breast.
My Dr. said he thought it was a lymph node, and he was right. I had surgery and he took it out.
I felt one on my right side also, but it was smaller. Now it is bigger than the one he removed and it hurts. I also feel one on the back of my neck. I have not been sick or anything. Two Dr. have told me that they need to remove the one on my right breast, but that most likely it is not cancer. My question is why are my lymph nodes swelling? Can any one help? I have asked my Doc, but he gives me no answers. :confused:
 
from what i've heard (or read) when lymph nodes swell quickly it's a sign of a virus or physical trauma. when they ease in it's a sign of cancer.

i'm scared as hell that mine could be hiv related (i have swollen lymph nodes in my armpits)
