Hi my name is Bill
I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on October 31, 2024. About two months later, I completed six rounds of chemotherapy, followed by a Whipple procedure. After surgery, I went through six more chemo treatments.

My CA19‑9 dropped to around 92, and my CT scans didn’t show any remaining cancer. During the Whipple, they did find about five very small lymph nodes with cancer outside the pancreas that was removed surgeon could not tell if it had spread..

Now, about a year after finishing chemo, my CA19‑9 has risen to 162. Three weeks later, it went down slightly to 152. My oncologist told me not to worry and that we’ll keep monitoring it.
My lastCT scans did not show anything.
Should I be worried? It’s hard not to feel anxious.

Thanks,
Bill
