The biopsy will not tell you if you will develop lymphedema or cording or both. That will be your body reaction to the procedure and like I mentioned it doesn't happened right away. It can happen months after like mine, but yes every body react diferent to the procedures, so the best you can do for yourself is take one day at a time and see how your body reacts to it. The side effects can happen right away or it can happen months after.
