After effects of 2nd Liver Biopsy

I've been Up all night, sigh! I went to doc early today to see why I'm hurting so long after the biopsy. Who knows? Will be calling them back when it's late enough. New pain meds they gave me didn't do much. Fun and games!

While at clinic today, got first results from biopsy... no real news. Confirm that it IS an adenocarcinoma, but no new clues as to what kind. They've sent it off for molecular analysis and markers, but will take 2 more weeks. Have an appt then to find out. Told them no way to mess with my vacation, she said ok, can she come with? :) If they can identify some markers, will also indicate what kind of chemo works best.

One interesting thing. They first poked me mid-body near diaphram where CT scan showed a big tumor. Turns out they had to try somewhere else because the tumor there was necrotised (sp?) was already dead! Good news because that means some HAVE died over this entire 1.5 yr process!
