Massive Spike in Liver Enzymes

Morning,

Please can someone share their experience? I’ve been on Imatinib 20 months now, LFT’s have always been good with my value usually sitting at around 40 for my ALT enzyme. I had my bloods in February and consultant called to say I needed to stop my Imatinib immediately as my ALT was 380, he repeated LFT a week after and it had rose again to 420, three days later 455. I am having meltdowns now and scared to have a scan as I am turning yellow, wee is dark and everything is pointing to Pancreatic Cancer for these results. I’ve basically refused everything the hospital has to offer as I’m too scared to hear the words ‘you’re going to die Carla’ I know this may sound ridiculous, boyfriend has basically washed his hands of me for being ‘selfish’ but I am in so much of a panic I can’t leave the house. When I was diagnosed with CML it was basically a routine test as the GP thought I had anaemia. I’m asking here if anyone else has had such a negative reaction so late on after the start of the treatment?
