Hi everyone,

I'm new here, however every symptom described is what I have!

I also have Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer that in 2014 metastisized to my peritoneal area.

I just had a CA 19-9 test done.  My result was 32.

The normal range is 0 - 35.  

I wonder what most peoples levels are.  I think mine is on the high side sad

I am having an MRI on my spine this week.  My oncologist is perplexed !!

My pain is in the upper abdomen, upper left rib ( has been sore for over a year! and now radiating to my left side of my back.

Makes it hard to breathe.

Any thought are appreciated....

Thank you

    I also meant to add that I am NOT losing weight, instead my clothes are very snug.

    All my inflammation markers are normal.

    Does not sound like pancreatitis.  If you don’t get any answers and still think it’s pancreatitis see someone who specializes in the pancreas.  

    Hope you get the answers you need
