Liver Resection: Is surgery the only option?

Hi all. Update from @tearose - I had my appointment with two awesome doctors this morning. They were patient and (in my opinion) very thorough. Long story short, they advised against the liver resection surgery because they believed that additional test analysis of the MRCI and biopsy could be conducted to come up with a diagnoses. They did not rule out the surgery, but the thought was, given the size of the lesion and it being only one, the safer thing would be to do some more analysis before going to surgery. I have a follow-up in two weeks (could be less if they get the additional information from the pathologist) to discuss treatment plan forward.

So glad you felt doctors were great. Good luck to you.

So glad to hear this, @tearose! The idea of a more conservative approach prior to a more invasive procedure is really good in my opinion.

I look forward to hearing from you again.
