Thanks. That's good information. And congratulations for four years. That's a feat.
Can I ask if you were scanned periodically during that seven-month holiday? With your CA19-9 ballooning like that, if would seem there would also be evidence of growth through a scan.
Currently I'm on a three-month cycle for CAT scans. That might increase to a two-month cycle to catch any growth, whether I go the holiday or three-week cycle route.
Thanks again and best wishes.

I was scanned every 3 months even on the seven-month holiday. The numbers went up & we kept an eye on them. I told the oncologist I wanted to wait until I went over, I think 5000 but that more than doubled on my last CA19-9. I went back on chemo & had 2 treatments with the numbers declining well, then I was accepted into the daraxonrasib program which took so long I ended up getting it after FDA approval> Started Rasonque on Sept 4th. Labs on the 25th showed my CA19-9 down to 483 🙂
