Liver enzymes up - what is this??
Just had second bloodwork for chemo done Wednesday and being sent for PET because liver enzymes up and not going down. This is one test prior to all chemo and one after first TCH. Help - what does this mean?????? Also, now have to learn to give myself neupagen shots as white cells fell from 14,100 to 1,400 in one week. I hear this causes bone pain - any suggestions? Geez.
