Had a shock today… I know there’s nothing that can be done but I just wanted to voice it.
We found out my husband had recurrent pancreatic cancer last June and that it had spread to the liver on 23rd December with CA19-9 levels at 6821.
Today we went for his cycle 2 Folfox and we always ask for blood test results so we can compare….
CA19-9 levels were over 12000…….
We’re hoping that after a few more treatment cycles it will fall again and that it’s higher because there’s a bigger surface area across the two new liver tumours to produce more of the CA19-9 marker.
That’s how we’re looking at it - and if anyone has been in the same situation we would appreciate input thank you.
