Liver labs not so good, yet again
I really was thinking positive and was sure numbers would be better this week, I kept telling myself that. I go today, had labs and visited with friends who were also their getting labs. Today was a great day. I come home, coordinator calls me says numbers are high again and even higher than before so I get to go back again next week for labs and MRI.
