I’m 5 years passed my whipped surgery and have been having regular blood tests and ct scans, my final one being on Monday. The tumour marker for CA19-9 has always been between 11-12 and this time is 15! Why would it change?

As I understand it 34 is a number that can naturally appear in ordinary people without pancreatic cancer. CA 19–9 of 15 should not be alarming but it should be monitored and tracked to see if the trend continues upward overtime. My CA 19–9 marker is at 59 and this has come down from about 1500 last year, which was a peak. I underwent chemotherapy and proton radiation therapy to bring it down from 1500 to 59. God bless you and good luck. 🙏🏼🌈💜🍀
