I hope the sinuses are the problem, Chelee. That would be great.

About the liver enzimes, my enzimes seem to be creeping up and one time the AST or ALT (Can't remeber which one) was a little over the high end of normal. My onc said those numbers weren't really that high...that some people have REALLY high numbers...etc. To which I replied, yes, but those people are in trouble! He agreed.

But he then added, that Her2+ is aggressive..that my enzymes had been in the high end of normal for quite a while, and if it was breast cancer related, it would have taken off by now. Hope he's right....

I had a MRI of the liver, then, and it was OK. The enzymes can also rise due to bone mets, I believe, so that is also in the back of my mind.
