Thank you so much for talking about your experience! I've been looking for a video like yours. My biopsy is coming up next week, and it is much more involved than the doctor made it out to be.
Sending you lots of care and a safe procedure. It was certainly a bit challenging... and it is good to have information that can provide a diagnosis and treatment :)
Glad you got a result. Hope you are getting good treatment. I’m in the U.K. where you are not sedated for a liver biopsy, I had mine last week, very straightforward, it’s the thought more than anything else. Good luck! 🎉
@@SarahCarr yes, it went well, I was apprehensive but they were very reassuring. Got the sharp pain in my shoulder almost immediately after, but other than that, very little pain. 🙏🏼
Hi Sarah! Found your videos this morning and looking forward to viewing the series. I'm going in for a biopsy this week to rule out/in AIH. I work in pathology, so I know all the things that were an unknown to you. Can't decide which is better? Anyway, I appreciate your honesty.
Good luck on your procedure! In some ways it's better to not know how it can go wrong, but on the other hand, my brain probably doesn't understand the real risks in a way you would!
Thanks for sharing your story. I had high liver enzymes that lead to a ultrasound then MRI which said i stage 1 to 2. Then a biopsy that was better than the migraine I had the the day before that I couldn't take any pain killers for due to biopsy. Preliminary report says stage 2 with some stage 3 but vague on anything else. Waiting on doctors interpretation vs my monkey mind making assumptions.
Thanks for this video just had mine Wednesday I am so glad the shoulder nerve pain happened right after my procedure was done it felt like I was having hard attack lol but not lol. They gave me pain meds right away . I was also given fentyl for pain. Over all everything went well got my results in 2 days which was surprising because I was told a week. But was glad I have fatty liver inflammation etc nothing my provider was to worried about just need to continue to lose weight. Almost a week in I am still having mild breathing issues meaning not to where I originally was so I am waiting on that to resolved. I only had to take pain med the nx day that Thursday and again today five days later which is weird. Again thanks for video it helped alot.
@@SarahCarr I appreciate it. It’s very difficult as a whole and having everyone outside that don’t know the pain and everything from the biopsy want to put their options in too. I got my results back and I do have cancer.

You're welcome! I hope you have a safe procedure and a quick recovery :)

Very interesting -- it sounds like it still went well for you even though you weren't sedated?

Best of luck for you as you wait for your results, and I know the monkey mind all too well.
