    Yes

    the chemo processes through the liver it will raise your liver enzymes. It should go down when you finish, if the dr doesn’t say anything it may be elevated but not enough to concern the Dr.

    Thank you for reply. I also read from other people experience that most medical professionals don't get concerned unless the bloodwork is 4Xs the upper limit of normal.
