Hi Lee. Zavie is 100% right. We were originally told NO acetaminophen. My onc now tells me that so long as your liver enzymes (AST & ALT counts) are reading normal, there is no reason to worry about taking acetaminophen. I have been using Tylenol for a couple of months now, and have experienced absolutely no problems with it. Hope this helps.
