A member asked:
I was on my fifth chemo, today the dr suggested i skip my chemo due to liver test being off, anyone know what could cause this all of a sudden?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Liver enzymes: This could be for one of several reasons. One possibility is that the liver cells or damage by chemotherapy or other drugs. Another possibility is that the cancer cells are growing within the liver and damaging liver cells. There may also be other causes. You should follow-up with your physician on what the most likely cause is.
