Thank you Helenar. They say he cannot go back up but it’s because of the trial he is in. There have been a lot of trial restrictions but his Dr still wants him to stay in it- no shrinkage but no growth. When his WBC was low he got the Neulasta patch but didn’t have to miss any cycles. Can I ask how old you are? He is 71 and was in really great health when this came out of nowhere. Hope your next scan shows continued improvement and so glad to see the 19-9 down.

Hi, I am 51 and was diagnosed a week after my 51st birthday. Also out of nowhere! The only time I was in hospital in all of my life, was when I had my c-sections for the births of my 2 girls. I RARELY went to a doctor, can count on my two hands the times I was off sick from work, was on no chronic medication, all and all I was in excellent health.
Then my right leg became sore with swelling, and they suspected cellulitis and treated me for that for 2 weeks. It did not get better and they started with other test and did a CT scan, and whola! - there's a tumor on you pancreas and it has spread to the liver! (2 small lesions)
