Hi 

just wondering if anyone has experienced the same. I’ve had 4 of 6 rounds of Folfox but the 5th has been delayed by 2 weeks now due to raised liver enzymes. I’m hoping to heat from the consultant tomorrow, but if anyone has had personal experience of this, I would love to hear from you

  • The liver can get a bit stressed when on chemo . They do monitor closely and if they feel you a rest they delay a bit . Once results are back within acceptable limits they restart.

    My friend has recently gone through chemo and had to delay every single round . But she got there in the end .

    Hope it’s all resolved soon .

  • Thank you court that’s reassuring. My tumour marker has also gone up but I’ve read there can be a few different reasons for this. Think I just need to get used to this rollercoaster and let the experts do their thing! 
    thanks again

  • My mum’s CEA went up around round four every year . She had it for three years . The first time gave us a fright but it resolved once she was through chemo .

    We got used to it .

    Take care ,
