Re: On herceptin/dmi trial
I agree with Vickie, Laurel and the others who suggested the problem might be from Morphine, Percacet, Tylenol or whatever other drugs you may have taken or take now. Every drug has possible side effects. Many drugs can affect the liver. Also drug interactions can affect the liver or other organs. It may take awhile to flush whatever you don't need or no longer take out of your system.
I see no reason why you can't eat foods that are benefical to the liver. I heard beets and kale are good. So are alot of fresh fruits and vegetable juices. Drinking enough water may also help flush out the liver. If I were you I would just go ahead and try a few of the things related to food and nutrition and I would not even think of sharing that information with an oncologist. I would also look up every drug I have taken in 2009 to see what the possible side effects may be. Chances are one or more of them can cause liver problems. I don't have liver problems, but I am going to try the lemon and warm water myself. Sounds good !! I have taken milk thistle every day since my diagnosis and never had liver problems. I also eat alot of fresh fruits, veggies, and yoghurt. I try to eat healthy well balanced meals. It all helps.
Good luck. Take care.
