Hey everybody. It's been awhile since I've posted. Im on 5FU (3rd round) and my AST and ALT numbers increased and I'm a bit worried. Although I am Stage 4, I've not yet had any cancer in my liver. It always comes back in my belly or pelvic area. This increase concerns me that something is wrong with my liver. Has anyone had an increase in these numbers while on chemo? I plan to ask my oncologist, but won't see him again until after Christmas.
Thanks, Teresa
