Kitten with lumps on her stomach

My 5 month old Tortie (out of a litter of 5) has two lumps on her side. One of the left toward her hip and the other on her right side further up near her stomach. I noticed them on friday when I was petting her. She was just at the vet about two weeks ago for an exam and her vacinations and the vet didn't say anything then. I am worried as a few months ago my parents' 12 year old dog died of cancer (he had a tumor on his side). So automatically I think the worst. She is eating and playing and nothing seems to be bothering her. The lumps feel like fatty tissue, when you touch or squeeze them lightly she seems annoyed (twitches her tail sometimes) but doesn't seem to be in any pain. She is a very sweet little girl and I'd be devasted if anything serious is wrong with her.

I am making an appointment to take her to the vet this week. What tests should I ask for? Would a blood test show anything? What could this be?
