Taxol and liver....

Just saw my onc today. My liver values AST/ALT were slowly creeping up to 3-4 times their upper values. I've cut-out everything I can think of that may tax my liver (i.e. coffee, coke, Multi-Vitamins, Cumatin, the occasional glass of wine) and since then they have come back to about half their normal upper values. Anybody have any suggestions on liver-friendly foods? According to my onc (and some posts I've seen here) this can be expected with Taxol and she is keeping a close watch (will not receive Taxol if they should creep to 5x their upper value.) I also don't experience muscle pain but bone pains (random sites, ever changing) but on the scale of 1-10 (where at 5 I'd take an over-the-counter pain med) they are between 2-4. To top it off I now have a gastritis due to the Decatron given with the Herceptin/Taxol combo (sigh) but this didn't occur until after my 3rd weekly treatment. As my onc says, this too shall pass. All-in-all just tired now and need to rest. Just wanted to post this if anybody else is doing research on what to expect or wants to bounce their symptoms.
