gall bladder problem

I have had a problem with one of my liver enzymes being high since before bc diagnosis and with this, ruq pain. I have had tons of blood tests, for a myriad of auto immune diseases, hepatitis, etc. all came back negative. I finally had a liver biopsy and everything came out normal and the pain went away.

However, my doc said she thought all of the above could be gall bladder related.

I just completed Herceptin in August and ever since then, I have had acid reflux, ruq pain and sever back pain (gall bladder pain can radiate to the back) that feels really odd. I would describe it as a tingling/burning/scratching feeling.

Anyway, here we go again... I have an abdominal ultrasound scheduled to see what is going on with my gall bladder and kidneys.

So, to answer your question, yes, I do think the Herceptin did something to once again trigger a gall bladder problem.

I'll keep you updated with the test results.
