Thanks! We are seeing a few oncologists to make the best decision on who to continue with. There is a follow up with one next week.
positivity…….I have learned that the CA 19-9 is not a reliable measure of the illness, however given the fact that your Mom has this cancer and two stents I think it’s important to speed up the appointment with the oncologist. I believe the increase is substantial and should brought to the attention of the expert.

MarionMy mom was tested for CA 19-9 and it was at a level of 69 u/ml, and two weeks later it is at 401 u/ml. She is not getting treatment yet, and does have stents for both hepatic ducts. We are in the process of following up with one of the oncologists, and still trying to find the best one for her condition. Is this a major concern for such a rapid increase? I understand it is normal for it to fluctuate when having CC, but is there another concern such as it getting worse, or it really is not an accurate measure. It just seems too much of a rapid increase in just two weeks.
