Hi loycj:

Just wondering how you are?  Amylase levels will go up wit any damage to the pancreas. The ct scans are showing shadows?  What does the radiologist's report say?

Hve you had a c9-19 blood test, although it can someimes be elevatedfor chronic or acute pancreatis, and DOES NOT always go up in cancer pts. Still good idea to get base line reading.  Are you seeing a gastrowho is familiar with the pancreas, because many havn't got a clue.I hope you respond on how your doing,

 

                                 with the best intentions,

                                         Denise
