    Hi Folks,

    Posted re raised liver enzymes earlier in the week. Was called back in today for monitoring. Need to keep taking the 50mg of steroids each morning as AST / ALT still high- one is still 4 times ULN the other has dropped back to double…… So back again on Monday to see if it is resolving and if we can start dropping the steroid dose I guess….. good news is – didn't need the overnight bag… They also confirmed that hepatitis can increase the levels of LDH so will run with that explanation for now.  

    Best wishes to all,

    Deb

        Well, any bit of good news at this point is great! and not having to stay in the Hospital is GOOD news!  Stay strong, you are a WARRIOR!  Keep the fine fight.  Best to you and your family.

      Took a while for my dad’s levels to come back down. Close to 10 days I think. He was on 100 mg of Prednisone though. Keep strong Deb. You are an inspiration!
