I'm back: increasing CA19-9 was accurate indicator of recurrence.

I had whipple surgery in January 2024 with clear margins. My surgeon had me do 3 more months of chemo after my surgery . I have had clear scans every three months since, but every time I get off the chemo my CA 19 numbers start to rise. Very frustrating!

Sounds like my story. I find it very frustration as well. What type and how many a times a month do you get chemo. My surgeon at MSK in NYC said no tumor no chemo. Follow up every 3 months with a Pet Scan but I worry about the CA19-9 going up. Thanks for the info.
