Back to the doctor…

Today is not a good day.

The results from my blood test were back and I got an appointment to see the doctor as some of the results were abnormal.

The normal range of values for AST (SGOT) is from 5 to 40 units per liter of serum (the liquid part of the blood).

The normal range of values for ALT (SGPT) is from 7 to 56 units per liter of serum.

The recorded levels were AST ~ 86 and ALT ~ 122, not all that bad, but twice normal, and the Androcur was the immediate suspect.  For that reason I have been told to take only half a tablet ever day, and to  get another blood test in two months.  The doctor seems to think it might be the Spironolactone that was causing the issue but reduced the dosage of the Androcur to be on the safe side. Needless to say, I’m not a happy girl at all at the moment.

    Well Laserderm Civic phoned me an hour before my appointment today to cancel it, citing that the nurse had not showed up for work today.  I found it really odd, as they always phone the day before to confirm the appointment, so I think that there is more to it than that.  The appointment has…
