I was told by my oncologist that the only way for them to diagnose you as cancer free is by clear CT scans. The CA19-9 is fine but is not the be all, end all test that we wish it were. Your CA19-9 can be elevated for many reasons…even having pancreatitis can cause it to be elevated.

I agree with your comment. Thanks also for reminding me that pancreatitis itself can cause it to be elevated. My last scan noted "mild changes of acute pancreatitus have resolved"
