This Question is Answered 

    Why Would My Bile Ducts Be Dilated And My Gallbladder Be Normal. Also Enlarged Lymph Nodes In My Sternum Area. I Have Had Several Blood Test. A Lot Were Tumor Markers. One Is Called CA19-9. The Results Are In .

    The test CA19-9 is a tumor marker. On Monday 12-10 the GI doctors nurse called and said the test results were in and she would call me the next day. Two days later and no one has called I would really like to know the results. As the one CA 19-9 was done about 2 weeks ago and a few days later she called the nurse and said I need to have it done again. The ct scan the showed this was done to see how bad my lungs are because earlier this year i was diagnosed emphysema.

    I would call my MD to see what going on, the enlarged nodes need to be investigated, and you may need other blood work as well. Node enlargement can come for infection and inflammation, as well as certain diseases. Don't wait for them to contact you, sometimes medical offices get so busy and things slip through the creacks. I know from experience that you have to push physicians sometimes to get results

      Hi stevesmom,

      I'm with mamaswa. Call the doctor again ... And again ... And again until you finally get to speak with him about this.

      Good luck and PLEASE let us know what happens!

      Blessings for a lovely holiday!
