It's strange that she doesn't have a biopsy of the first surgery. Do you think it has mutated?

The father of a friend died from liver cancer a few years ago. I think it was caused by an hepatitis instead of alcoholism. Anyway, he had some chemo delivered directly to the liver, but I'm not sure if that was a good/bad/stupid/fantastic/desperate idea.

Perhaps it can be useful to make a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_magnetic_resonance_spe... . The normal NMR is useful to see the shape, but this version is somewhat similar to a chemical analysis of the tissue and in some cases it can distinguish cancer from other similar problems. As I said before IANAMD.
