Post treatment Liver Issues

Hi Tanya and welcome to the board!
I was dx August 2006 stage I er/pr-, her2 +. I completed 3 rounds adriamycin, 12 taxol, and 1 yr herceptin. My liver has sustained significant damage from all the drugs and my enzymes are nearly double baseline. I am careful with my fat intake because my cholesterol/triglycerides are also elevated because of my liver function. I have been told there is nothing I can do to reverse this, but I am a true believer in being proactive. I am taking milk thistle, fish oil and eat a wide variety of fruits and veggies because I have read that plant sterols can help reduce cholesterol circulation, ultimately helping my liver. Do you have any suggestions as to other supplements, specific foods to eat or avoid, or other interventions I can add to boost my beaten and bruised liver.
My great grandmother turrned me upside down when I was born and shook me, saying it would keep me from having a weak liver....anyone wanna do that again for me??? :P

Thanks,
Stephanie
