I don't have personal experience of this but two of my bc friends had liver biopsys recently and both came out clear of cancer. I know having had bc we tend to think it has to be cancer but one of my friends was told many people have benign cysts on their liver which are never found. Our's only are because we have so many scans and follow up.
I'll be wishing and hoping thats the case for you and just want to wish you luck and good thoughts. __________________
Thank you Tricia - it is good to know that they do come back benign - I had another cyst on my liver which showed up in my original CT, they later verified with a pet scan that it was not cancer. What is scary about this new one is it appeared since my Dec. CT and it is larger. If it is cancer it means Herceptin did not work for me (I am just 3 treatments from being done with Herceptin).

In December I had some swollen lymph nodes and "due to my history" they also thought they were cancer - hopefully this will also be a false alarm.
