Lump at vaccine site after 13 days--still there 7 days later

Hi all--I came across this board after desperately searching the web for information on vaccine-related lumps.

Nico, our three year old tabby we rescued off the street as a kitten, went into the vet November 20 to get her rabies and distemper shots, as well as a microchip. The vet injected the shots near the shoulder blades (which i now know is a no no!), and then inserted the microchip in the same location. Nico had some sort of a reaction to the whole process, vomiting several times shortly after the shots. But she recovered over the next few days

On December 3, 13 days after the shots, I noticed a firm but not hard lump about the size of a marble (or when flattened, the diameter of quarter), at the injection size. It does not cause nico discomfort when squeezed and can be moved around with the skin (it appears to be part of or attached to the skin). We went back into the vet, and they were unsure what it might be, but suggested monitoring it for a week and going back.

Now its December 10, and the lump is the same size (and if my eyes aren't deceiving maybe even just slightly bigger), and i'm starting to lose my mind with worry that this might be a vaccine related sarcoma. I've read some other experiences suggesting that is its benign it might start to go aay in two weeks? Can anyone who's had similar symptoms confirm how long before their lumps started to subside? Any little thing to ease my mind would be much appreciated!

Nico
