Hi, everyone,
Checkingin with a question of concern.
Several weeks ago had to go to Er for a high fever.
The next day I found out I had an UTI and was put on Levaquin. this made me sick and when the CMP was done, the kidney function test came back a weeks later that the levaquin was messing with my kidneys. I was taken off of it. At the same time, my liver function test came back high and I have low hemoglobin. This is the first time for all of this and it was very upsetting. Aren't these functions nexcesary to take Herceptin? I am in my 2nd year cancerverary for Herceptin and neither my onco nor I want herceptin to end. My CA has gone down!
Has anyone ever had this to happen with the function tests?
thanks to all for your wonderfull support,
hugs
kathy
