MY HUBBY HAS PNEUMONIA  3X , ALSO HAS CHF, METAL HEART VALVE, NOW NODULES OR SOMETHING ON THE LIVER.  HE IS A HIGH RISK SURGERY CANDIDATE AND THE DRS. WANT TO DO A BIOSPY OF THE LIVER SAYING IT MAY BE IMPARING HIS RECOVERY OF PNEUMONIA? CAN THIS BE TRUE?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for the query. Biopsy should not be done during pneumonia, and it can wait till he recovers. This is not an emergency, he probably has those lesions for longer period. It must be evaluated and tumors must be ruled out. It is hard to say what it is exactly. It can be benign or malignant lesion. But in every case he should treat his pneumonia first. Wish you good health. Regards
