When I was having chemo, my LFT's sky-rocketed and the onc sent me for a bone scan to look for changes there. He said sometimes they will go up with increase or decrease in bone mets. In your case, this could be very true since they are shrinking

Plus, I'm sure since the chemo is filtered through the liver it's bogged down with toxins. My primary doc checked cholesterols and triglycerides when my LFT's went up because he said with highly elevated triglycerides, there is a risk of pancreatitis (mine were 600, previously normal). I increased my fiber and fruits/veggies and steered clear of packaged foods/red meats and they improved somewhat, but have not made it quite back to normal yet. Hope this helps in some way

Great to hear your tx is working well!
