to worry or not to worry
Hi guys, it is me, the nuthead. I saw the onc on thursday and my last CMP showed an elevation in alk phos and a slight elevation in AST or ALT now can't remember which, the other is normal as is everything else. I was pretty upset about it as they have been all normal for so long. Would any of you know if these could be affected by oophorectomy, faslodex, hormonal flare, herceptin, and or zometa? My hopeful self wants to think that some of the elevation has to do with the hormonal flare as I did have some pain in bone spots shortly after beginning this treatment. Can't seem to find a lot out there about that though. I really hope it is not progression related. And I know that faslodex can take 8 weeks to work, we just don't want to lose any windows of time in case I can do DM-1.
I could really use your brains as I know you are all so wise. Thank you and happy long weekend!
