Normal: Those lab resuts are fine. A low alkaline phosphatase has no significance.

Alk Phos: Sorry to hear about your breast cancer. A low alkaline phosphatase has been associated with vitamin and/or mineral deficiencies. Would make sure you don't have a problem absorbing nutrients- speak to your doctor about getting tested for zinc, rbc levels, as well as copper, selenium, magnesium (rbc), b12, folate, 25-oh vitamin d. And ask before taking vitamins during treatment for breast cancer.
