So hard to know what signs to look for. My husbands CA-19 in March before starting Chemo (post Whipple) was 40. In July new CT-scan came back clear, but CA-19 was 53. CEA was in the normal range. Every visit and test is so scary. Wishing you only positive results.

I have found MarkyMark’s link to Dr Matthew Katz at MDAnderson Houston helpful. Top cancer centers are still using decades old treatments with a few tweaks as Standard of Care in return for a few positive results. After we sacrifice our loved ones for data, hopefully targeted screening and therapies will become the new norm before a tumor manifests.
