Hi all, did any of you have abnormal liver function which was just related to the stress of the surgery. I am 12 weeks post debulking for mucinous ovary stage 1C3  and tumor markers currently normal which I am pleased with. I have not had chemo. my liver function was noted to be abnormal a month after surgery and remains abnormal. Hoping it could it just be stress from the illness.

  • Hi  

    I don't have the experience you're looking for but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list where it'll be easier to spot.

    While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

  • Hi  

    I am not a medical professional, but just wanted to add that your abnormal liver function can be for many reasons and not always connected to  your cancer. 

    I currently have highly abnormal liver results, but the issue was not caused by my cancer or surgery. I have an issue with my gallbladder/bile duct which is separate from cancer/surgery.

    Are your results being investigated further, or are you going to continue to be tested to see if they fall within normal range in time? I hope things settle down for you.

  • Thanks Sarah, various causes being checked for and levels being monitored for recovery. I suspect the stress of the op and fluid volume change to my system and low blood pressure in the days around the op probably just stressed it and hopefully it will just all settle and scan will be fine.

  • Hi  

    I hope it’s something which will just resolve in time and go back to normal. Hop too that you’re feeling ok overall after your surgery, and that this gets back within normal range soon.
