Re: Very nervous

Hi CB. I understand how you feel but your liver needs to heal a little.
I was on Herceptin+Tykerb before the operation and my liver parameters were normal.
I always stayed on Herceptin. I stopped Tykerb 10 days before (which I believe was too short). I started Navelbine, and restarted Tykerb about 1 month after the operation. It was really tough for my digestion and for my liver. It took months for my liver parameters to come back to normal and I didn't feel well at all. I believe chemo hit hard on the liver. I stopped Navelbine end of September and only my last blood tests last week showed normal parameters.
But I am not an onc. If you feel good and your blood work is good, then you should really discuss chemo with your onc. You will feel better. But don't worry too much. Even if you only see your onc on the 9th you will still be on track.
Hugs. Michka
