I had my operation 5 weeks ago to remove an 11cm mass and now only have 1 week to wait to hear what's what, but the liver biopsy bit is really making me worried. The surgeon did the biopsy when he was removing the kidney and mass as he saw some nodules and wanted to check them. Anyone else had this happen?

  • Hi Mavis

    I am sorry to hear of your cancer. 

    I hope that you are recovering ok from your surgery. I can understand why you are concerned regarding the liver biopsy. It sounds like your surgeon has been very thorough. 

    It is always worrying, waiting for results and I hope that you hear very soon. It was the not knowing that I found hardest- once I knew what I was dealing with and what needed to happen, I did feel a bit better. 

    In the meantime if you feel like talking it through with someone would help, then please do give the Support Line a call.

    Jane
