Have the lump checked out. To keep your arm functional, you should have arm lymphatic (spelling?) physical therapy and you might need this forever - I do but mine is my right arm and I'm right handed so it's critical. and you should learn some exercises to do to keep it in shape and keep the lymphs draining properly. One is to raise your arm straight up and pump with your hand - close the fingers tightly and then open them and close tight, pumping the hand so that the blood goes down to your armpit. If you don't take care of your arm, it could become a problem.
