Biopsy

[Guest guest]

Hey all..

I just thought that I would let everyone know that I went through

with my biopsy last week Thursday.

It wasnt the scary horror that I thought it would be..in fact some of

the things that I read about it were not true at all...

I went in for the procedure at 900AM....I was given an IV of

phentalyn and versad...the biopsy was done under the ribs and not

through them..I felt nothing, and I was in the recovery area at

910AM..

I did not have to lie on my side..I had a little soreness in that

area..like a pinching feeling. They gave me something to eat and

drink at 10 and I was discharged at 10:30AM...

That day I did nothing but lie on the couch and the next day I was

back to my usual routine.

Its been almost a week, and if I over exert myself...I get a slight

pinching feeling in that area. I dont know if its just the liver

healing or what. I am going to call my PCP for the results

tomorrow.. Im quite nervous about what the results might be, but I

have been feeling so lousy I just want to know.

So for everyone out there who is facing a biopsy...its not all that

bad.

I think it depends on where you have it done also..whether it be a

small hospital or a large hospital...I had it done at Mass General in

Boston...which is a large teaching hospital.

I will let you know my outcome when I get the news..

Thanks for all your help with my questions.
