Ah I see. But you don't think the ill effects of keeping tumor in there might outweigh the downside of delaying chemo by 2 months?
I got repeat blood work and my CA19-9 increased from 153 to 177 in 11 days, so that makes me think the tumor isn't as aggressive as what I have heard in some other cases.
