Had abnormal liver levels on a couple of blood tests (taking Cape as precaution for primary TNBC) but next test levels normal. However Onc Still wanted me to have abdominal CT scan which I had on Wed.

im just so anxious. I had a clear CT last sept before treatment and a really good response to neo adjuvant chemo but I can’t help worry. Bone scan last sept said ‘increased focal tracer uptake at L3’ but CT scan showed no abnormality at the same point. Was only told this by Onc last December when I said one of my symptoms was back ache. He said at the time doesn’t think cancer and probably wear and tear but puts doubt in my mind!!

sick of this cancer Poop show

  • Are you still getting systemic treatment? These can sometimes throw the bloods out of normal temporarily, and sometimes it can take the body a bit longer to repair any temporary damage. Far less frequently there could be a longer lasting effect, and when it's one of the major organs, the teams are usually very careful. 

    That said, I can relate to what you are saying about doubt, and I can definitely relate to your closing statement! When are you getting the results of the recent scan?
