The liver board decided to do a liver biopsy next week. Did not get to talk to the doctor, but presume that this is to make sure that the serpiginous thing (sorry I can't throw any medical terms at you that sound any better...) that lights up on the CAT scan is really a tumor and not inflammation due to the radiation. Kerry is out of town at a training to learn to use EPIC -- the new torturous computer system. He may have a chance to talk to the doctor more tomorrow and get some details.
The procedure is Tuesday at 8:30 am and he is expected to be there for 6 hours while they do the ultrasound guided biopsy. He will be under IV sedation -- not a general anesthetic.
That's all I know for now.

Oh, goody, he gets to watch! (I bet not really, but when they did the skin graft after I lost the end of my finger in a door, I asked if they had video I could see. They were not amused.)
