To make a long story short, I asked her to run labs on my CA markers since I have lost two sisters with cancer within a year. She told me if I have any signs of cancer I would have signs of weight lost, but I didn't. So she ran the labs anyway and my CA 19-9 came back 43.7. Can anyone give me a suggestion on what I can do to heal myself...please. Or can someone tell me if the baking soda remedy is a good start.

The CA 19/9 marker is generally used as just one test for various forms of cancer, but is frequently looked at for pancreatic cancer and you are above the reference range of 0 to 37, but an elevated level can also be caused by gallstones, a blockage of the bile duct, liver disease, cystic fibrosis or pancreatitis. Given the potential danger associated with this marker, your doctor needs to do more testing to determine the cause for the elevated level. Until that is done, you are just guessing at the cause and potentially losing valuable time. The swollen ankles is also associated with many other health conditions, so again further testing by your doctor to determine the cause is needed.
