I think you are talking about Abraxane. That's what I'm on. I hope everything continues to go smoothly!

Any idea of these ?

Albumin 3.2 ( low )
Bilirubin .6 ( within range )

Alkaline PhosphatePhosphate fluoride
Phosphate laxative 126 - lit high
Asparate Aminotransferase 123 - high
Alanine Aminotransferase 216 - high

Albumin is a little low. The transaminases show liver inflammation; am not sure of the other tests. Did you mean alkaline phosphatiase and / or lactic dehydrogenase? Those are also liver enzymes that elevate when there is inflammation. Chemo is very irritating to the body and causes a lot of inflammatory markers to go up. I would not be concerned unless the numbers keep going up and up and up.
