Marlene,
I really appreciate your input and knowledge on these topics.
We have asked for another liver enzyme test on Thursday when he goes for his regular labs. His AST was 121 and ALT 213. I hate to jump into any treatment for this right away (steroids?) I contacted the transplant doctor back home and she suggested watch and see and perhaps the next step would be an ultrasound. I like this approach. The hemo/onc down here suggested we see our family practioner down here, which we will should things not turn around. One other thing to throw into the mix. After these labs were drawn, he broke his collarbone in a bicycle accident. The inflammation alone will most likely play havoc with his numbers. He has opted not to take the presribed pain meds because of the toxicity to the liver. He is taking ibuprophen and several homeopathic remedies.

Thanks again and I hope that things are going well for you.

Mary
