Jennifer,

Thanks for the update on Joy. I can't give you any medical information, but if her onc. says the chemo could still work on the fluid, and the switch to Ixempra is recent, with improved bilirubin scores - that to me would suggest hopeful signs.

Please give Joy my best, and to keep fighting. There are more plans of action out there for her if she needs it.

all the best
