Lost. My wife is 78. She has battled pancreatic cancer for over 5+ years. During the pandemic her colon was removed. She is taking part in a trial at a nearby hospital. Two weeks ago her CA19-9 numbers decreased. This was the first decrease since the trial began. The new number increased some 20% to over 100,000 I am at a loss as what I can do. She sensed there was a problem as she experienced vomiting on several occasions. She saved my life when she married me 31 years ago. Hoping no praying Mayo has some ideas.

Thank you 🙏🏻 so very much.

Hello @dyas and welcome to Mayo Connect. I appreciate you sharing about your wife's journey with pancreatic cancer. As you mentioned, "Hoping no praying Mayo has some ideas," I'm guessing that she has an appointment scheduled at Mayo Clinic. Is my understanding correct?

Mayo has excellent specialists, and I hope she finds some answers. Will you post again with any questions or concerns?
