Caryn's bilirubin at 15 - liver biopsy

[eric]

It turns out that when Caryn's bili dropped to 8 it was going up and down and we just caught at a down time. Unfortunalely it's at 15 now which is a record high for her and signifies a higher level of liver failure than previously thought. Since her tumor markers are stable they're not sure what the cause is. To finally figure it out they're going to do a liver biopsy tomorrow morning. He said that the cause could be more microscopic cancer cells (which would be horrible), one of the drugs causing inflammation in her liver, or possibly (though doubtful since it was removed weeks ago) the fat from the TPN (liquid nutrients). It's been a draining few weeks but I pray that we get some news that we can do something about.
Caryn continues to amaze me, she never complains and seems to cope with everything that comes her way although she acknowledges that she's very scared (as I am) . I wish I had better news right now.
As always, prayers are appreciated.
