Hello
I’m doing pretty good. CA19-9 is 11 and tumor is the same size. I have been experiencing sharp stabbing pain in my stomach every once in a while. Nothing shows on CT. Oncologist thinks it may be the pancreas pressing on the celiac plexus nerves. Trying an extended pain killer to get ahead of it. If that doesn’t work he can go down with a scope and block the nerves.
I didn’t mean to come across as an expert on maintenance chemo. I’m not on any. We scheduled a return visit in 2 months.
