Newbie, thanks for responses to come:)

I am a 7 year survivor, age 47 at dx,  stage 1, Estrogen +, DCIS with lumpectomy and radiation, no chemo.  5 years of Tamoxifen  (and 5 years of hot flashes) 1 year off then put back on Tamoxifen 13 months ago because ca 27.29 value of 42.  13 months, Petscan, Bonescan, HRCT, and mammo and ultrasound later my ca 27.29 is 98.2 (last month 102), my cea is 1.9 and d.dimer is 0.1.  I have lots of other crap wrong with me but am worried of liver or pancreas involvement as I already have an enlarged fatty liver due to diabetes and problems with pancreas. 

1) any thoughts or info on elevated blood tests

2) any other tests that may show more specifics besides Petscan?  I cannot do an MRI unless I am in a hospital. (have lung disease and severe claustraphobia need anathesiologist)

Here's hoping someone can direct me
