Wendy,
Boy, there is nothing like the words "clear scan"
My liver enzymes were up last time too as well as cea, but my doc says that is pretty common on chemo in general. My cea was up to 3.5 when I had emergency surgery for scar tissue blockage. I had to be off chemo completly for 3 weeks and it went right back down again to 1.8. Now back on, it's doing the same steady rise so it does seem to be a chemo thing. (by the way, I had a scan that was all clear too!!)
I read recently that tylenol and of course alcohol can elevate liver enzymes too while in treatment. Good luck with the remainder of your treatments. I go for # 8 next week. Sue
