Oh, well, at least I don’t have to fast.

That's a lot of possibilities. When is the bloodwork and how soon will you have results? If it's too much iron, I think all you have to do with that is donate blood regularly (I just saw a House rerun with that). And copper, I think you balance it out with zinc maybe? I hope it's nothing serious...

One thing--Wouldn't they have seen liver cancer on the ultrasound?
Thanks for this!
