liver cancer

Less than one minute read time.
Hello, My dad has been told he has a 9cm mass on his liver and that there is no treatment he can have. He is still awaiting a biopsy. He has been told it is his choice if he wants to have a biopsy. He has been told that they suspect the cancer has come from the melanoma he had 18 months ago. How can they know that without him having a biopsy? I know My Mum is worried that having a biopsy could make my Dad feel unwell.....has anyone had one and can tell me how they felt afterwards ? Thankyou so much x

    Hi,

    I have had a liver biopsy, and found it okay.  Little bit of a twinge when they actually snipped some of the liver, but no pain afterwards.  I have numerous tumors all over my liver, and am on chemo to control it.. But 4 years on I'm still doing good... I wish your Dad and you all the very best with he journey ahead.
