Got my biopsy today

Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. You definitely feel it though, but the most pain was the IV they missed in my left hand, then they tried the right hand, missed there too. I suggested they just go from where they usually draw blood...It worked.

Can't wait for my doctor to get the results so I can start my TX. I called him today and let him know I'm ready when he is and that the results should be on their way to him.

Glad you got that behind you.  In the beginning that's probably more daunting than anything.  The word "biopsy" can really do a number on you.  Hoping for great results for you.  =)

Congrats! Yeah bx is not bad at all. I only felt like a pulling. I wish my doctor could have pulled the entire liver out and washed off the virus. That would have been nice -even if it hurt a little.

Good luck with your results!
