Hi all,
The update is mixed. Caryn's tumor markers came down again even after two weeks without chemo (one off week and one week where her platelets are too low). Unfortunately though, her bilirubin shot up from 8.2 to 10.3. This is a serious concern as there's some sort of blockage in her liver. She's very jaundice again and very tired. They're doing an ultrasound this morning to try and see what's going on. We're obviosuly very concerned but hanging on to a little bit of hope that they'll find something that they can and will fix.
You've been so generous with the prayers and I ask that they continue for now we're still in need.
Thank you,
Eric
