Hi Chrisy,
Don't worry about the elevated liver enzymes. This is a known side effect of the drug. If they get too high your oncologist will just hold the drug for a treatment. That might not be necessary for you if you are receiving the drug every three weeks. I'm sure you will find the drug very effective. I started in September and feel great. I also feel fortunate to be on it because it will probably be another two years before it is approved.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.
