Which hospitals have you been in touch with so far? How many sessions of chemo have you done? I’m glad to hear your CA 19-9 numbers are coming down!

I am being seen at Sloan Kettering Memorial Cancer Center in NYC. My CA 19-9 numbers have been falling, the most recent of 200 was after 5 sessions of chemo, I started at 1750. I know many things can happen and the CA 19-9 doesn't tell about the state of the blood vessels but it seemed encouraging to me that I seemed to be pointed in the right direction anyway. I will see the surgeon at MSKCC again after the 8th chemo.
