Angry Liver Levels up? What next!!!

I found out the HARD way from my new oncologist that I thought I could trust...that she too isn't being to upfront with me.

Today I was trying to get information out of her...its like pulling teeth it seems. Its my body..I have a RIGHT to know everything...good or bad!

She tells me that my liver enzymes have been running a little high at 60...but she said thats not bad. (I would have no idea?) I think she said it should be around 40 or 45?

But then she goes on to tell me...that one 5-1-06 when I came in for my lab work...and had a FULL CYCLE infusion of my herceptin, Taxotere, & Carbpotin that my liver was UP to 147 which concerned her...but for me NOT to worry.

She KNEW back on May 1st BEFORE my chemo what my lab work was. WHY didn't she tell me them how HIGH it was? And WHY did she go ahead and let me get the Taxotere and all that????

I am angry enough just knowing my liver enzymes have been up to 60 without her telling me ALL THIS TIME.

Does anyone KNOW WHY my liver would be up at 147? Is that going to go down...or will it be permanet damage that won't improve...or what? They LOVE stressing me out. I think they can't wait to kill me off as fast as possible. I was JUST beginning to LIKE this NEW oncologist. Now it seems like she is just like my first one...they HIDE things from me.

Anyone else have elavated liver numbers out of range that bad? What would or can cause it? Does that mean my chemo is over now.
