I went for chemo on Tuesday but couldn't have it my ALT levels had shot up so my oncologist has booked an urgent scan I feel really good in myself he's hoping it's just toxins to chemo so am I don't want any progression or spread, 

I had a ct 8 weeks ago and all was stable. 

It's such a worry the ups and downs of the cancer train 

  • Hi  

    How many cycles have you had ? I am holding out for some shrinkage .  Eight weeks is relatively recent I would think .

    Sometimes it took eight weeks to get scan results !

    But it’s just not a nice process to go through . Time to let your liver rest a cycle and sort itself out .

  • Hi Court altogether I've had 39 cycles 8 on this round it started to creep up around three cycles ago.

  • Gosh you have done well . 
    You have such a strong liver ! That’s incredible. 
    It’s certainly reassuring that you have a recent scan. 
    But I know only too well it’s a horrible process . You have a proactive team always making sure .

    Hopefully more of a ruling out process as we well know is part of the oncology process .

    My mum has one liver enzyme that decided to stay up since her chemo all those years ago ! Part of her new normal .

    take care ,
