Interesting case of new lesions, pain, but decreasing CA19-9

Radiation to a new tumour for my sister-in-law at her stomach caused some inflammation and infection and therefore pain. If that happened to you, your markers should have shot up. Do go get a PET scan done quickly. I hope ER gave you something for the pain.

That’s the confusing part as markers even decrease by 50%. I was always told that CA19-9 also reflects inflammation in benign situations.

Yes I did get some hydrocodone-acetaminophen for pain that I will use sparingly as I don’t like to take medication like that unless I don’t have a choice. My radiation was in October, and my pain just started so I’m not sure if it’s related. Thank you for your advice and I hope your sister in law is doing ok now.
