Re: Question for liver metsters
Im a liver mets girl, although right at this moment I don't have any and instead the stupid cancer has decided to attack my brain. If your liver isnt functioning as well as it should, it should show up on your lab work. I believe the liver function tests are on your lab sheets as AST/ALT, SGOT and SGPT. If you are like me, you are getting your labs drawn frequently. Ask your chemo nurse or onc nurse or whomever to go over them with you and see if they are elevated. Mine are quite elevated right now, and my oncologist didn't even catch it until I brought it up. Lots of prayers and positive energy to you.
