At hospital yesterday.
Did get 2nd Zometa.
Told Nurse that if Calcium not up - must be something wrong because I had been taking calcium, vitD, Vit K & mag every day! Fortunately it had come up to 2.34 (minimum scale level is 2.20) This is highest Calcium level I've had! Still to low end though!
Only problem was that liver markers (ALT,AST & Bilirubin) all up . Hopefully only because of Xeloda.
So one thing fixed and another appears.
Don't have symptoms of liver problems but still a bit concerned especially when Nurse tells me that I can't do anything to improve. Surely there must be something?

Anybody have this &/or suggestions?
