Well the good news is that the cancer is lessening and her liver is improving aside from the bilirubin (which is a measurement of how well the liver is working) which is now up to 17. Turns out its one of the chemo drugs thats causing the problem with her bilirubin. Unfortunately the doc thinks its the gemzar thats worked so well for caryn. His plan is a break from treatment to allow her body to recover while he formulates a plan. I'm going to bug him to make sure that he considers that the gemzar interaction with the carbo might be causing the problem. I'm not comfortable with her moving away from the gemzar since its been the most effective chemo for her to date. I'll keep you posted.
