Liver Mets
Rocky:
When I was on Nuelasta and Taxol my alkaline Phosphatase, SGPT and SGOT plus my CA 27-29 all went up well out of the normal range. My oncologist was concerned about mets and ran a bone scan, a PET scan, etc. It turned out that I was having a reaction to the Nuelasta and no mets were present. Approximately 17-22% of patients will have the elevated Alkaline Phosphatase and liver enzymes (SGPT and SGOT) according to a study published a year ago. I really appreciated my oncologist doing the scans as it made be feel better emotionaly until all my levels returned to normal about six weeks after my last Taxol treatment and Nuelasta injection.
