    Dawn01, my mother had a liver biopsy and they give you light sedation. She felt nothing and next she knew she was awake. All the best.

    Sorry to hear the cancer is back. Did you feel very sick or anything to bring on all the tests? At least the biopsy should be the end of all the tests so put that behind you. Best wishes on the biopsy and let us know how you get on. <3

    @dawn01 I was diagnosed with widespread liver mets in 2012 so 5yrs ago now, it was 6weeks shy of my 10yr milestone since primary diagnosis, bit peeved about that o got to tell you.  Like you I was anxious about what to expect with a liver biopsy. I don't remember much about the procedure as they give you a drug that makes you forget what happened makes you a bit drowsy, I remember going to get the biopsy lying on my side think I had a bit of local for the needle or whatever they used, I remember complaining that's it I don't remember having the procedure done, afterwards I had a dressing on my right side but no pain so that was good.

    im now 15yrs since primary diagnosis and 5 yrs living with liver mets.

    all the best for your liver biopsy
