2 questions…

1. What were your CA-19 numbers immediately after the surgery?
2. Why did you have to wait 3 months for a CA-19 test?
I received CA-19 tests immediately before and immediately after the surgery. I also received CA-19 tests from my surgeon, my oncologist, and my PCP each time I saw any of them. I receive a CA-19 test at least twice every 3 months… sometimes as often as 3 times. I too had the Whipple surgery and was diagnosed stage 1b.
