Previous pagePreviousMy wife is 54 years old and in good spirits. In June 2019, she underwent surgery to remove a stage II rectal tumor, which did not require follow-up treatment. Her CEA level was 3.2 after the surgery. In June 2020, her CEA level rose to 10, indicating that the colorectal cancer had metastasized to her liver. She started her first treatment course on June 26 (injection of Oxaliplatin plus two weeks of oral Xeloda). After that, she was transferred to a public hospital to receive targeted therapy and chemotherapy. She just completed her first targeted therapy with Cetuximab and her second chemotherapy with Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin), Fluorouracil (5FU), and Folinic Acid on July 15. She was supposed to be hospitalized again in two weeks for continued treatment. Blood tests on July 27th showed low platelet count and high liver enzymes, requiring another blood test on August 3rd to determine if chemotherapy could continue. Unfortunately, the doctor on August 4th said the platelet count was 0.8 and liver enzymes were three times the normal level, so the second targeted therapy and third chemotherapy session could not begin. The next treatment cycle would depend on the blood test results on August 10th, meaning the third chemotherapy session was delayed by three weeks. My question is, my wife's current CEA level of 3.3 is lower than before chemotherapy, but if the blood test results remain unsatisfactory and treatment is delayed, will this affect her condition and drug resistance? Also, how can we increase platelet count and decrease liver enzyme levels during this period? Thank you!
