What Causes Discomfort Around A Lumpectomy Site On The Breast?

Thank you. About a year ago I had my left sentinel lymph node removed during a lumpectomy procedure on my left breast. The node was cancer-free, thank goodness. Now, what happens up there in the lymph area? Do the other lymph nodes take over ? How? (And are there enough left to do the job?) I still have underarm discomfort in the area of the incision. Is this normal? I appreciate your help.
