coincidence or something real?

hello,
   im 16 so i wasnt really sure where to post this because its a few different things. but i would be very greatful for any advice or help, thank you.  i think all of this might just be a coincidence that its all happening at the same time, but im still worried.

   im a busy teenager so im naturally tired, but lately i've been extra tired.

   my neck has been hurting for around a week and a half and the glands on the right side are swollen.

   this is the one that concerns me the most, my right arm pit has a lump, the lump is some what visible, you can push on it, its hard, id say its around the size of a pea.

   i have a doctors appointment in like a month, should i just wait until then? or might this actually be something

Agree with mono diagnosis....but go see your doc sooner if you can and make sure.  There's not a whole lot that can be done except give it time to get your immune system back up to snuff.
