Have you been told this is inherited Lymphoedema?
There should be absolutely no pressure put on you or anyone else to have a test...that is entirely up to you. If you dont want to know ,then refuse any test. You dont say how old your daughter is but if she is over 16 then its entirely her choice as well.
