Hello sb4CA,
Have you had the ca19-9 blood test yet (pancreatic cancer and some other cancers)? That was one of my first and easy tests and you can even ask your primary dr to order it. Best wishes in your journey.

Thanks for commenting. I had the blood test in early '23 and it was only very slightly elevated. They had me repeat it later and it was normal. I also had another cancer marker test (AFT) that was normal (thank god). My blood work has not appreciatively changed and have had chronic (somewhat mild) elevation in liver enzymes since I had my gallbladder taken out. ALP has been my problem child consistently which points to more to a bile duct issue. My bile acid went from normal to abnormal in about 10 months too. The original MRCP was done for the liver/bile duct issue.
