Cranky Liver

Apparently Tammi's current symptoms are from an angry liver. Her pet scan shows that her cancer is relatively inactive (which is a good thing!), but her liver is experiencing some cirrhosis, most likely from all the medication she has been on. She'll go to a GI doctor to help manage the symptoms, needing to have a paracentesis and fluids until it's under control.

She'll also be starting an oral chemo pill. Her tumor marker numbers are growing, which seems out of line with what the pet scan is showing. But Tammi has always been special, and they want to keep those tumor marker numbers in check even while they work on her liver. 

So we have a new problem that will lead to new doctors, but is something we are hopeful can be controlled. Continue to pray for Tammi's strength while we encounters new bumps in the road. And be grateful for your liver, doing work you never realize, until it gets mad.
