hi all, I havent been on in sometime,Well Clints ct scan looked ok, but again his liver functions are off the charts, the Dr. thought he had been drinking allot (NONE, It makes him deathly ill to drink since chemo) So they took blood to send to mayo..The Dr. said Im puzzled Im not sure why it is like this? He told him he can take his multi vitamin, but nothing else, and to also only use tylenol/advil when he absolutly had to... Any one have any experience in why this may be going on??

I realize surgery, and chemo, and years of partaking in the "Coors" dosent help, but Im concerned now also.
He did start a job, since now he is "cured".. He drags himslef home,rests, showers, eats, goes to bed and on the weekend he sleeps and rests to prepare for the week of work...He is always "preparing for work". He sleeps and rests almost as much now as he did after his surgery.... but the Dr cleared him to work...
He still has shortness of breath,and uses his puffer to get through the day.He has constant fatigue, along with hip pain, nausea.
Just mowing the lawn is a major feet, yet after looking over half a year, this place hired him as a maintance man, oiling machines, climbing, pulling, he comes hom reaking of oil smell (great for missing half a lung *eyeroll*) But again the Dr. said it will take a long time to but stamina... So we will see... In the mean time I wanted to put out this Question to see if others have had expereince with liver problems after lung cancer surgery and chemo....
Thanks so much for any advice/ info.. Mattie

I think your husband should have a bone scan for the hip pain and a repeat Hepatic Profile for the abnormal values. Sometimes Hep Profiles can be elevated for various reasons - it doesn't necessarily mean recurrent CA. God bless your family, Mattie!
