It Never Ends

I have to have a cat scan because my liver enzymes won't go down. Of course, I am terrified that I have a met. Intellectually, I know I was early Stage 1, Node negative, and that I treated this disease aggressively. That doesn't help much with the fear. I think Femara is causing my liver enzymes to rise. I've been on it two years (after 2 years on arimidex) and I don't think my liver likes it. For the month of May I am going to take Femara every other day instead of every day. I am tired of being a guinea pig.
