Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Biopsy was pretty uneventful. I was awake for it, but had enough fentynal (sp?) to be nice and relaxed and chat with the docs. The took several biopies -- one central one of the lesion and then lots of surrounding tissue. The main tool that they put in me looked like it belonged in a kitchen gadget drawer! Before my biopsy, Jens and I met with my hep -- Dr. Pratt. He was very sorry that this all happened while he was away on vacation, but was glad that Dr. Tiim got the ball rolling in his absence. He is of the opinion that no matter what, I am looking at liver resection surgery, and was very emphatic about it being MAJOR surgery and that I would be in the hospital a relatively long stay. He doesn't think I will be looking at a transplant. He also told me that he is going to set up a meeting between me and one of the transplant surgeons who he wants to do the resection. He told me that speed is the key and he doesn't want any time to lag between getting the pathology back and meeting with the surgeon. He is also going to push to have the pathology report back by Friday. That is the day in a nutshell. Now, I am going to take a little nap and let some of the drugs wear off.
