I'm wondering if your cold is what made a rise in your liver enzymes. I remember many years ago, and before breast cancer, I was to have a procedure of some kind done under anesthesia. When speaking with the anesthesiologist, he asked about my liver enzymes because they were high. I remarked that I had had a bad cold, and he shrugged off the high numbers and said that the cold would be the reason for the elevated numbers.

Hoping that is your situation, too. Did your onc order these tests after seeing your bloodwork? How high were the enzymes? Did you let him know you had a bad cold when the blood was drawn?
