ALP level elevated

It's true that all tests don't reflect a symptom of bladder cancer. My ALP levels were up before the cancer, so it was hard to figure out which came first. In the meantime, lots of tests later, the ALP rises and the rest of the tests are negative. I have a liver ultrasound this Thursday. From my research, it sounds like a bone scan would be more appropriate since all other tests are normal, but I will follow the program.

The last of my 6 week BCG treatments was last Thursday, so I have some reasons to celebrate! The last one was a doozy after having two treatments with very little reaction. I'm gaining strength again now, so I'm looking forward to a 6 week break from BCG and hopeful for the 3 month check up Oct. 11th. Woot! It's the little things that keep me encouraged now.

Thanks for your support and encouragement forum readers.

Has anyone had an elevated ALP (Alkaline Phosphate -- liver protein test) along with the bladder cancer? My doc has been monitoring my levels for about 1.5 years and it keeps going up. All other liver tests, hep b and c, thyroid, and vitamin D levels have come back normal. In June, I had a bladder ultrasound and they found the tumor that has started me on this bladder cancer journey. I just had my 5th BCG treatment yesterday and was feeling pretty good about making it straight through with the full doses and not having too terrible a reaction. One more left in this round! Then, my primary doc said she was setting up a liver ultrasound to figure out what is going on with the ALP levels and I practically had a panic attach. It may be nothing, but as we all know, the waiting is the hardest of all. The test is September 5th. I am not a pro at having health problems since I have been pretty healthy most of my life. This is really sending me into a tailspin. Has anyone else had the ALP problem in tandem with bladder cancer? Any ideas ol' forum wise ones?
