@billb720301, I bet seeing the elevated CA19-9 has you worried. As you likely know, there are several things that can cause the CA19-9 to rise, so further testing is usually required.
Have you had further testing? What did your oncologist suggest? How are you doing?

@colleenyoung thanks for your inquiry. I’m scheduled for a Ct scan and a pet scan, and I’ve scheduled more blood tests. I will ask my oncologist what he thinks about it. Our next scheduled visit is in six weeks. I’m concerned because the CA 19-9 went from 8 to 173. Yes it could be caused by something else. My next ctDNA test will be more definitive. Any suggestions are appreciated.
