Hi my mum is currently receiving Capox treatment.
She has had issues with her liver enzymes being raised ever since she had a bowel and liver resection.
She has been experiencing intermittent pain in her breastbone which radiates through to her back, we've spoken to the hospital today and they are booking her in for a scan, just wondering if anyone has experienced similar on this chemo?
I was wondering whether it could be related to the fact she had her gall bladder removed, I appreciate the advice will be to seek medical advice, which we have done, I just wanted to see if anyone had similar symptoms following liver surgery.
Thanks in advance x
Hi cjb.0809
Glad she is getting a scan for reassurance . My mum only had her recurrence picked up on scans . They had no symptoms .
But she did have issues after her large liver resection where we actually took her to an and e one night as the pain in her chest was so sever she thought she was having a heart attack . No idea what caused it and we never got to the bottom of that episode . It lasted for a few months then settled .
I wish her well .
