Im so sorry to hear your news. I, too, had a liver biopsy a couple months ago. I was awake, and in a CT machine when they did it. They gave me some medication to help relax me before, and they inject you with the numbing medication before the actual biopsy; however, it still was a bit uncomfortable just for a minute. Then I had to lay on my stomach for four hours in a hospital room before they allowed me to go home. I was sore for a couple days, I think, but was up and around and feeling okay. I went back to work the next day...I feel that it is important to get the biopsies done because, as everyone else said, these tumors change characteristics, and you want to be able to get the most effective treatment.
