Growing Lump In Axilla Part. Mammogram Report Shows Mostly Normal. Suggested Removal Surgery And Biopsy. Explain

My mom had lump in axilla part. In Feb 2013 After doing all the check-up and scan, doctor removed the lump and sent for test and they said its normal lump. so no need to worry. But again its started growing. so doctor suggested to go for mammography check-up. With mammogram report, doctor told that 99% its normal one only. but the 1% doubt is it should be grown if its normal one. so we will do removal surgery again and will send it for biopsy. But I am getting scared. Can you please help me and give more explanation about this.
