Robin,
I replied to another thread of yours as another liver enzyme watcher.
I am very pleased that your Drs are performing tests to make sure that they figure the trend out.
I too had elevated liver enzymes coming off of 6 rounds of Taxotere + Herceptin. It seemed odd that while I was on all of the super strength drugs that the enzymes were fine. But...they rose by about 30 points 2 months after the chemo completion. This lasted for 2 rounds of testing. Not certain why, but they recently settled themselves down.
What is a hidascan?
Please don't fret too much if you have to have a liver biopsy. When then told me I was going to have one early in this journey it sounded HORRIBLE. Maybe I still still in a shock but I did not find the procedure to be too painful. It sounds worse than it is.
I am certainly behind you..cheering you on....Lori
