Re: Scared of a liver biopsy? Here is a link to help you

[Guest guest]

I keep reading about these biopsy procedures. None of them sound anything

like mine. Each time I read about it, I am reinforced in my decision not to

go back to the same hospital where I had the first one. I was on my left

side, they went in through the right side through what seemed like a

bone/rib spacer and took three samples. I had no pain med. I repeat,

everybody who is going to have one, make sure you don't have one like my

first one. Except for the fact that they say to take one from the inside

while they are doing something else isn't as accurate, that is the way I

would go if I could. My second one was that way. Didn't know I had it

until the doctor told me he had done a biopsy while doing gall bladder

surgery. Needless to say, I thanked him. Jan H

Jan,  I have never heard of going in from the right side.  Oh gosh, that had to

have been horribly painful!  I don't blame you, I wouldn't go back there either!

Hugs......
