Hello again, (sorry it is me again)!
I had some blood tests this week and they have come back rather odd and I wonder if it is the steroids?
The doctor is concerned that my markers for igE (which I believe is an allergy marker) is 1131 and it should be under 87 UmL according to the test results - Is this perhaps steroid allergies? I don't have any rashes or anything but feel pretty poisoned at the moment! (on 50mg prednisone) AND then I have a high reading of CA 19-9 (it is 54.09 and should be under 23 umL). The doctor said this is indicative of pancreatic cancer! I don't have any other cancer markers as far as I know, but could this also be steroids?
I am still in China, but given that I have now also had some other bad news my health is becoming complex and so I have booked to come back to get this all checked out. Has anyone had anything similar perhaps or do I have other things going on. Thanks everyone
