What are the symptoms to look for for pancreatic recurrence?

Don’t trust a CT scan. Mine were fine, but my CA-19 kept creeping up, and since I still have fluid in my abdomen from surgery in April, the Dr thought it was from that. Now my CA-19 is 1000. Going for PET scan this week and biopsy next! I was stage 1 after surgery, so this is a blow. Just don’t trust CT scans

How did you PET and biopsy turn out?

CT scans only can see so much. My PET scan showed the recurrence of cancer in other areas of my abdomen. In chemo and CA19-9 has dropped to 80 from about 500. Another PETscan will be scheduled …..I am hopeful….
