This was offered to me yesterday and I said yes! I asked why would anyone not do it since it could foretell something in its infancy stage and allow closer surveillance or even starting chemo to fight it.
My doctor said for some, ignorance is bliss but also it’s about being able to manage the anxiety it could create. It is not proof positive, but CA19-9 is not either. I agree with Beth’s; I want to know all I can as soon as I can so I have the potential to do something about it.
