    I had a liver biopsy a year

    I had a liver biopsy a year ago when LFTs rose 3 yrs post colon cancer diagnosis. It took 10 days for preliminary path report. My doctor did call with those results; then, met with me when full report came back about a week later.  My care is in a major teaching hospital. I ended up having an autoimmune disease so I am not sure if that effected length of time.

    Wishing your brother the best.
