When taking chemotherapy your liver can react from the toxicity of the chemicals. It happened to me after taking adjuvant therapy when I was first diagnosed 15 yrs ago. At the time I was Stage 1 no nodes. CMF was my therapy(Cytoxin,Methotreate, 5 FU). MY ONC monitored my liver values for 3 or 4 mos before it recovered. I never had liver mets, and you should be able to recover as well . The liver can rejuvenate. Liver mets are fairly common, and so your onc is cautious by ordoring scans and tests.
I drink a special tea made by Celestial Seasonings, called AM Detox, it's made with Milk Thisel and good for cleansing the liver AFTER YOUR cHEMOTHERAPY IS OVER. It is a wellness tea and can be ordered on-line or found at your nearest Heath Stores. Hope I helped. Let us know your progress.
Hugs, Christine
