Thank you for well wishes. I got the ctDNA test yesterday, and also, to my surprise the oncologist ordered antigen testing at the same time (my primary gave me an order this week for Thursday which is when I was planning on repeating it). I didn't receive any info on results from the oncologist, but my endocrinologist shared the info with me and my antigen is now at 72! What my husband and I are amazed at is that my exponential increases are very closely matching those of omus1omus23. I like the idea of a total pancreatectomy. I'm not sure about chemo since my cancer coming back so quickly after completing chemo. I do still have my port, but this is only due to the fact that I called my oncologist after the first abrupt rise in CA19-9 and told the team I wanted to cancel its removal, and they just said "that's fine".
If anyone knows of a good oncologist in southern California, please give me some names! I actually live in Orange County.
