I’ve been reading studies about that. No one seems to know how much of an effect it would have on the test. Even oncologist was unsure. They want me to go off the nexium for one week before having another blood test but I’m concerned about that. I take Nexium for a reason.

Taking a break for the test makes sense. I hope you sail through ok.

You might ask your doctor if you can substitute a non-PPI med, like Pepcid, for the week you need to be off the Nexium and see what the doctor says. Pepcid is not as effective as Nexium, but it might provide some relief for a week.
