ticklefeather,

What does the doctor base that assessment on?

Blood marker tests should provide some indication ... CA 19-9 and CEA ... have these been done every chemo cycle? What are the numbers now?

PET is not as detailed as CT, but shows hot spots ... what did the CT provide?

Hello,
They have not done any recent bloodwork on my husband. I will ask about that. Thank you.
