Hi HER2 Friends,
My recent blood test showed ALK Phosphatase at 142; Reference Range is 38-126. I have had extreme nausea since my last Herceptin and stomach is swollen. I have had 40 of 52 treatments. I put Herceptin on hold and refused Scan of Abdomen (to protect liver) No barium sulfate for me (Metal). What other test options for the liver ?
Friday 03/28/08, I have Mammogram and see Surgeon; need to have biopsy of skin rash and mole on left breast. Rash for over 4 months now. Mole is discharging yellow. We have watched left breast since 1999/2000 - Mysterious Areas, 06/2006 Quarter size boil underneath breast -green/yellow discharge, 10/2006- Cystic Status, 06/2007 multiple tumors shrinking from Taxol,A/C chemo, 2008 ongoing rash each time port is accessed. I dont use numbing spray or creme, use paper tape and non Latex gloves. Rash would clear up on its own but is growing since 03/18/2008 is red and very itchy. Benedryl creme does nothing; makes it itch more. Possible Inflamatory Breast Cancer. The left breast cancer seems resistant to Taxol, A/C and Herceptin. What is my next protocol of defense ?
How do I safely continue Herceptin even on a weekly basis and protect the liver?
