High bilirubin counts
Has anyone out there experienced above normal bilirubin counts with chemotherapy? I was diagnosed in November 2013 with stage 4 HER2 BC; one met on dome of liver and 7 nodes with a 2.5 centimeter tumor in right breast. I received 6 cycles of taxotere, herceptin and perjeta. Continue receiving perjeta and herceptin every 3 weeks. Base line metabolic panel and the first two after treatment began showed bilirubin in normal range, then bam! Upward slope to twice the high of the normal range. The count is fluctuating but not down into the normal range. My scans are clear, NED. I am currently working with my GI to get to the bottom of this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
