To finally determine why Caryn was continuing to have digestive problems they did an ERCP, which is a catheder scope down through the ducts. Unfortunately, the dr found tons of microscopic cells clogging the ducts inside the liver. This is driving her liver toward failure. If we do anything there's a risk of accelerating damage to the liver and shortening the little time that she has. We told our 16 year old daughter and 13 year old son -what a HORRIBLE thing to have to do. We're not quite ready to stop fighting yet so we've asked her primary Onc to speak to her Sloan Onc to discuss last shot treatment or a surgery. We're hoping that they can come up with something her2 related that won't compromise her liver even further. I'm devastated as it appears that my kids have less than 2 weeks to be with their mom and I have less than 2 weeks to be with the best thing that's ever happened to me outside of my kids.
I'm sorry if this post makes things harded for anyone else.
