My alkaline phosphatase is low, I had to look it up. Just quietly freaking out a bit in case I need radiotherapy or chemo or both and this stops it. What a nightmare. Anyone been through this kind oPraything. Everything is filtered through the liver. Pray

  • Hi Sabrina22

    Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you have problems with your liver. While I haven’t an answer for you I noticed that you haven’t had any answers yet somI thought I’d reply to you to move you to the top of the discussion. Hopefully someone will be along shortly with an answer for you.

    Best wishes

  • Thank you Daisy53,

    I realise it's not easy to answer. It's just puzzling, I think they need to retest it. It's all a bit if a jigsaw puzzle working out how to treat and get the problem of BC to retreat. 4 days now to results. The MacMillan Nurse couldn't help she said go to the Gp. I'm not going to do that, takes too long. X

  • Hi Sabrina, I hope you are as well as can be expected in these circumstances. 

    I was just doing a search on the forum for liver function issues during treatment came across your post, how did your treatment plan move forward, has your liver improved? 

    I had a lumpectomy with mammoplasty surgery in Feb and started chemo in May I have just had my bloods done for my second session and my liver function is low so they are adjusting my dosage accordingly. 

    I am wondering how this will impact my treatment and prognosis so any shared experience would be useful to know. 

    Take care 

  • My liver is ok, the result was borderline but no one was worried. If I'd had chemo it might have been different. So many things to worry about. Hope it goes well for you. They know what they are doing. 

    Hope is all is sometime and gratitude. I felt lucky to have all this treatment. Xxx
