Hepatitis

[Guest guest]

Dear Eva,

We are all waiting with baited breath to find out what will happen next with

your appointment with Dr. Lipton. I don't live in Canada, but I have certainly

heard he is one of the best. It is evident that not all doctors follow the same

protocol and if it's possible, try to keep Dr. Lipton, I hope you can do that.

I know it must be very frustrating for you to know something is wrong and the

doctor is not listening to you. I went through a similiar situation with my

lung a few years ago. I had to pound on the desk and demand tests for every

known bacteria, virus, etc. They were shocked when the results came in and

didn't know what to do. I had to find another doctor who specialiazed in

infectious diseases on my own, they were no help at all. I've said this so many

times, you are your own best advocate. I have lost nearly 50# and the

oncologist only noticed it today when I saw him in the waiting room. Funny he

should ask. LOL.

I would call Dr. Druker's nurse, Carolyn Blasdel. You can reach her at:

Blessings xoxo,

Lottie

Everytime I have blood work done they check my liver function. I did develop

Gleevec induce hepatitis and had to be switched to Sprycel. That was two

years ago and the onocologist still check liver function everytime I have

blood work. The liver is an amazing organ in that it can recover completely.
