Caryn update - bilirubin high again
 

Hi all,
The update is mixed. Caryn's tumor markers came down again even after two weeks without chemo (one off week and one week where her platelets are too low). Unfortunately though, her bilirubin shot up from 8.2 to 10.3. This is a serious concern as there's some sort of blockage in her liver. She's very jaundice again and very tired. They're doing an ultrasound this morning to try and see what's going on. We're obviosuly very concerned but hanging on to a little bit of hope that they'll find something that they can and will fix.
You've been so generous with the prayers and I ask that they continue for now we're still in need.
Thank you,
Eric

Dear Eric -
Fervent prayers toward Caryn. As strong as we can make them. As Sheila said one day, "we can move mountains." I would add - "of tumors."

Praying hard for Caryn, the children and you. God bless and work his miracle!

Eric,
I continue to pray for Caryn and tonight I send up a special prayer asking that her liver function could improve and that she will gain strength in this fight. Take care and God bless you both.

Caryn update - bilirubin high again
 

You are on my prayer list. Don't worry. We are all cheering for Caryn, you and your family.
The tumor markes are going down and that is great. Even though Caryn is weak she is putting up a great fight. Now if the docs can do something about the liver infection that would also be great.
We will keep our fingers crossed for that.

Might not be bad
 

Potentially not bad news. No solid mass showed up in the ultrasound but they did see a bunch of "sludge" that is clogging things up. Caryn's Onc feels that the sludge could be excess fat coming from her TPN (her liquid food). He's having the fat removed from the TPN which will hopefully allow things to clear up and result in the lowering of her bilirubin. I'm hoping he's right. Thanks for all of your support.

Eric,

I am glad to hear this news. Hopefully, when the doctor removes the fat from her liquid food, she will start to feel better.

God Bless you, Caryn, and family.

Amelia

Hope the doc is on to something... prayers to you and family Eric.
