Pancreatic cancer recurrence: Anyone else?

I was wondering if an onocologist could tell if a tumor had not shrunk by a blood test. He had written on one of his comments that ca199 was decreasing but there was no significant change in tumor and my husband has not had another scan yet so i was wondering why he might have written that.

Hello @mcendroski

That is a good question. I'm not sure anyone on Connect can decide how your doctor formed that opinion. You might want to send your doctor a message through the patient portal and ask that question.

In the past, has the doctor felt the tumor by pressing on it with his hands?

How is your husband feeling now?
