Introduction

We so appreciate the love and support that has been shown to us and we lovingly empathize with and pray for many of you that have had or are currently going through trials of your own.

Liver Biopsy - by Mark


The biopsy went well, uneventful.  We saw the x-ray of my liver and asked about the size of the "dot". The Doctor said it looked to be about the size of a lime – 2"- 2.5" long and about the same shape.   It was dark and a bit rough instead of the smooth tissue of the liver. Four needle-like samples were taken through the same hole in the abdomen wall.  The results of the biopsy should be ready by Tuesday mid-day and the PET scan should be ready by mid-day Wednesday.
