hello everyone.

Did anyone with HCC have a biopsy? I read somewhere that they dont usually do biopsies after mri and ct and ultrasound but my partner has been told he is having a biopsy next week. Just wondered how many of you had to have this and how did you feel after . Thank you

Yes I did. They said it was necessary to determine precisely what treatment if any would be offered. The biology itself was not bad at all. I had no pain afterwards and the worst part was having to lie still for hours afterwards
