TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Empress Emerita Michiko has been vomiting blood and losing weight since September, when she had surgery for early-stage breast cancer, but the cause of both remains undetermined, a palace official said on Friday.
It was the most detailed update on the health of the 85-year-old retired empress since her surgery.
