Hi everyone, my husband has incurable lung cancer stage 4 adenocarcinoma which has spread to the lymph nodes, pericardial fluid, and base of skull as far as we know - he had a pericardial window surgery in June and has been having chemo and immunotherapy since July he’s now just had his fourth treatment after it has been deferred once for low neutrophils and last time for high ALT (291) reading on liver function tests, he had a ct-scan on Sunday everywhere from his neck to his pelvis.
he is now getting pain in his arms and hands and hip and feet, he’s putting weight on and eating well due to the steroids but doesn’t seem well at all sleeping more and has visual disturbances and gets confused easily
Does anyone know anything about why his ALT readings would be so high and what this could mean, his blood tests have also now address bone profile is this something I need to be concerned about
thank you for reading and for anyone who replies
