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.
