Hi everyone. It has been a while since I've posted. I hope everyone is doing well.
Hi everyone. It has been a while since I've posted. I hope everyone is doing well.
I am still in a double blind clinical trial with a placebo or 10/mg of ipilimumab. I'm in the maintence phase so I only receive the infusion once every 3 months. My last dose was on June 14th. My scans on June 13th showed no evidence of disease. The reason I'm writing is because I went in for routine bloodwork today, like I do every few weeks after my treatment, and my oncologist called this afternoon to let me know my liver enzymes are elevated. Has anyone else experienced this? Was it related to the drug?
I'm to return a week from today for more bloodwork. If the numbers are the same, or higher, he said we would have to do "further investigation."
Anyone, advice?
Thank you in advance.

Larry had elevated liver enzymes that were caused by ipilubimab. It was after second treatment. they returned to normal after a few weeks and they were able to do third treatment. No fourth because of other side effects.

Hi Chelsea, We met at the Skin Cancer Foundation Gala, good to see you are still going well. For what it’s worth, I’m on Zelboraf but I have also had off and on liver issues over the past nine months. I’ve found making sure I stay well hydrated has helped. Hope this little bump in your road smooths out and you stay well. -

Hi there! It is so nice hearing from someone I can put a face to! It was so nice meeting you at the gala. What a special night it was… Thank you for responding! I will make sure to drink extra fluids over the next week. Hopefully that's all it was and things can continue as they have been! I hope you are doing well.
