I had a scan and consultation with bloods to check my testes due to lumps 4 weeks ago.
testes were all clear but bloods, in particular alpha-fetoprotein, were high and of concern to the pharmacist and consultant oncologist. The pharmacist checked my vitamin and alternative supplements and suggested to stop turmeric with black pepper. That was done but my bloods has come back even worse. None of the constituents of the Full blood count (FBC) is of concern only the AFP.
Also, I have been taking 3 injections of Filigrastim ( GCSF) Could these be affecting the liver count? AFP is a cancer marker and I am obviously concerned that It may have spread to the liver.
Currently awaiting the CT scan results and had colon sessimoid tumour removed in jiuly 24 but lymph nodes 4/18 were infected with no distal tumours.
Could the preventative chemo regime that has recently changed ( removed oxiplatin due to CIPN, but increased cisplatin to 100 %) as I was on adjuvant chemo at 80% for 13 sessions and had 11 of 13 so far?
any thoughts would be helpful fwiw no or very little alcohol for 6 months and no red meats, or UPF's since this all began and a reg gym goer, non chemo weeks. And no wait loss as constant 85 kgs all through ( bloody cant shift the fat)
