Q: Liver post surgery

My wife had surgery on her liver over 3 months ago. Doctor waited for a long time before he took ct scan. A spot showed. She went to have biopsy, but doctor at hospital refused, he said he was afraid he would hit a blood vessel and she could hemmorage to death on the table..Thank God for that man!! Anyway, surgeon said he was 99.9% sure it wasn't cancer. He said it was a normal procedure for them, they did it all the time. It was a highly recommended hospital. After the surgery, (60% of liver was taken out) they sent it to lab. When it came back, they said it was cancerous, but it wasn't liver cancer. It originated somewhere else in her body and showed up in her liver. They have done several scans and it hasn't shown anywhere. Her problem now though, she is in lot of pain and her bowels are acting right. They said she had fluid from the surgery but it would finally dissapate through her body. If anyone has had this sort of problem or any help at all it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you and have a Blessed Day.
