I will be going over this with my internist Monday, Lani. I was on tamoxifen for 1 3/4 years after CAF x 6, and now at 4 years out my LFTs have been consistently mildly elevated. Abdominal ultrasounds, abdominal CTs, and even a staging MRI and recently a bone scan have been clear. None of the other common liver problems fit me at all and I'd been wondering about NASH. So thanks for providing some interesting clues.

(Now if I could just figure out what to do about continuing low blood cell counts...)
