Hello,
My husbands CA 19 level was 1, 600 in Feb. when first diagnosed with Stage IV before chemo, went down to 816 on 3-31-08 after the start of chemo and are now 2,273 during chemo.
Just had scans and there is only a tumor in the tail of the pancreas with no other tumors showing anywhere, but the biopsy in Feb. showed a node in the liver; which they tell us, he is not elliegible for surgery.
Is this normal? Does this happen to other peoples CA levels?
