Hi everyone
Has anyone had high liver enzymes because of chemo?
I've had 4 cycles of carboplatin and now 2 cycles of EC. When I had my bloods yesterday my liver enzymes were high. I still had my treatment but have to have another blood test next week to keep an eye on it.
Quite worried about it but the nurse on the ward didn't seem concerned so not sure what to think.

Yes ......this is a well known , common thing . Your liver is detoxifying the chemo , that is why they keep testing , to make sure your liver can cope . The liver is good at regeneration,so after your chemo finishes you should find it goes back near normal .....
best wishes
