I just had my blood work done and my CA 19–9 went up to 39. It doesn’t seem that high, but mine hasn’t really changed much over the last few months. But the doctor was concerned and moved my pet scan up to before her next appointment, October 15. Now I’m worried the lumakras isn’t working and I have to go back to chemo. Right now, the only chemo left for me is irinotican which I had an allergic reaction to. That means I would have to be in the hospital while they get me used to it.

The doctor says if the Lumakras doesn’t work, I’ll have to go back to chemo and the only one left for me is Irinotican. I had an allergic reaction the first time they tried it so I’d have to be hospitalized. Is that really the last treatment for pancreatic cancer?
