Pancreatic, blood tumor markers significantly evelavated and slightly elevated amylase ...

I was wondering to those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and had bloods done what your tumor marker level was and the symptoms you had at the time.

I went to the GP last week due to some symptoms I've been having long term and bloods were done 2 days ago the above have came back ( all of the other tests were fine ) and doctor called this morning to tell me and booked an urgent CT scan at the local hospital , they called around an hour after I finished chatting to the Dr and I have my ct scan on Sunday. 

Thank you !

  • Hello , thank you for your message.

    I am back home now from the CT scan , it wasn't as bad as I thought it may of with the dye and being in the room.

    One of the ladies did ask after it had finished and I was still in the scan room if I had any more appointments today and the lady said to another lady I need to ring ( I didn't quite catch who she said ) quickly.

    I don't know if this is routine or what ? 

    Would you know ? 

    They also said as it was urgent I'll likely hear within the next couple of days.

  • Unfortunately this isn't something we can answer but our cancer nurses may be able to help, so if you'd like to have a quick chat with them about this you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    We're really glad the scan went o.k Natz and we'll have our fingers crossed the results bring good news in a couple of days time.

    Kind regards,
