As I posted, the cyst burst. It contained only water. None of the docs there had ever seen anything like it. Oh, as for the liver lobe that was cut -- I have no idea what they did with it.
When your mother is having major surgery you get very tired. I didn't go chasing down doctors like on "movie of the week". At that time I didn't have a clue what the liver did, should look like or anything. There wasn't the internet. Times sure have changed!
