- I was just diagnosed in late August. The dr. did a liver

biopsy to confirm her diagnosis and she did find some damage,

however, she said she won't do anymore biopsies because, as you

said, it just covers a very small portion of the liver. From now

on, she's going to rely on ultrasounds every 3 months. I'm somewhat

confused tho, because although I have some damage, I have no

symptoms. Take care...donna
