My husband had elevated liver enzymes when his biliary stent became infected. Did your oncologist give any reasons why the numbers were going up?
When my husband first started chemo, his CA-19 declined from 1200 to 89 in the first 3 months although the tumor never shrank. The stent infection turned into a severe case of sepsis, which delayed chemo. Things spiraled from there.
Hopefully you can get some quick answers why the liver enzymes went up. Chemo seems to be the best chance of giving more time so it’s important not to delay too long if possible.

Thanks for sharing this! I'm so sorry things took such a negative turn for your husband. I'm going to push the team for more answers about my father's liver.

If you're willing to share, I was curious to know more about the circumstances around your husband's stent procedure. Did he have that while being treated for pancreatic cancer? Was the liver issue a side-effect of the cancer treatment?
