Joy is in the hospital

Hi everyone, thank you so much for all of the advice and support for Joy and me. She has taken a turn for the worse. Some of her constipation issues have been resolved but she was still in so much pain and her tummy is so swollen the doctor admitted her to the hospital. They did an xray and it did not show anything. So they are doing at CT later today. The doctor feels it is swelling due to her liver not functioning. Her bilirubin is only 1.3 and everything has stayed just about the same since her last blood draw two weeks ago. She's very worried that this is a sign of the end. I just can't believe that. I have to believe that this chemo could still work and others too. But I am worried about her liver just not being able to handle much more. Any advice again and words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated. I will update you as soon as we know more. Thank you so much! Jennifer
