I hope all is well with your husband. Waiting to get testing and results is so frustrating and nerve-wracking! I am definitely no expert; all I can share is what I read when I was dealing with elevated test results a couple of months ago. These blood tests can be unreliable in making a new diagnosis and are usually coupled with other procedures such as endoscopy and biopsies, but they're often used to track treatment progress. I've read that other situations can elevate the test results even if cancer isn't present, although I don't know what those situations would be. In my case, my CEA was 13.X and my CA19-9 was 1736. I was positive for pan can stage 4 based on endoscopy and then a biopsy and visual check performed during a laparoscopy the following week. Here's hoping that you all can get the testing done quickly and, ideally, get the non-cancer diagnosis you hope for.
