Ma'am, I'm just curious since you stated this: "Also we have discontinued the 19-9 test because my body does not register it." Is your pancreatic cancer the acinar cell type. That's what I have and was told that with acinar cell pancreatic cancer, the CA19-9 tests are not a reliable indicator of disease. I wish you well and my situation is similar to yours.

I was told that the 19-9 blood test shows 0. My Dr said that it should show certain numbers going up or down, but the blood test shows 0. I don't know what acinar cell means. I wish you good luck and keep on fighting.
