Hi there, I just needed some advice on delayed chemo. I've been diagnosed with grade 3 DCIS invasive breast cancer. It has spread to all the lympnodes so I will need full lymphnode clearance and mastectomy.
The lump is so large I need chemo first to shrink everything before the op. I am on the 4 cycles of EC (red devil) chemo and then will need 12 cycles of a different kind.
My issue is I have only managed one cycle so far and my liver is showing high on my blood tests. Each week it's higher than the last. They keep delaying everything for a week but so far the levels have not decreased. They did an ultrasound of the liver and said it looked OK, my body is just struggling with the medication. My issue is I've been told my cancer is so advanced and is aggressive and it's making me worry about all the delays. Could the cancer pottentionally spread if they don't act faster?
Thanks,
