Guest guest Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I know I haven't posted in a while. I have been very busy working full time and going to school full time but I have a question and I don't have time to research it. The doctor's office just called and had an increase in his CA 19-9 from 17 last year to 39 this year and when I asked the normal range they said 0 to 37. They are scheduling him for a CT scan. Question 1) How bad is this news? Question 2) How good is a CT scan at finding adenocarcinoma in PSC patients? Question 3) What else should we do to ensure he is getting the best evaluation for this lab result? Thank you for your help. Kind Regards, Nichole Rowland wife of PSC & UC 07/2004 neice of Gwen PSC & Chron's died in 2004 with liver failure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
