Hey Kathy,
A lot of meds are filtered throught the kidneys. I had lab work done after my 1 year MRI and MUGA scans, my kidney values were all off. It was because of the dye that they used for the scans. IT took 6 weeks to get the numbers back where they had been. Same can be true for the liver to an extent. I had my last Taxol in June I am on Herceptin and Tamoxifin now, my hemaglobin still has not rebounded.
Just keep an eye on it all!
Cheryl
