High liver fuction tests?
So on the list of things you don't want to hear your oncologist say, "I'm perplexed" is right up there!
Has anyone had issues w/ their liver functions being high, but all else, including bilirubin being normal? (and feeling fine) This is going on 2 months now, and I do have an appt. set up by my Onc. to see a gastroenterologist for a thorough workup.
My las three tests have been:
AST - 356, 309, 371
ALT - 410, 364, 457
Anyone have any insight?
I finished my chemo June 2nd, so am a few months out (growing hair!) and am still having Herceptin until the end of January.
Dr. says this is not from any of my meds.
Thanks,
Lisa
