[|Human|] I had Whipple procedure for bile duct tumor on May 30th 2012. I developed infection due to my body rejecting black thread stitches inside me that wouldn t resolve. There were three of them but doctor said he could only get to two of them to remove and left the third one saying it would eventually dissolve or work its way out. I continued to develop one problem after another Since that time along with my CA19-9 being at 637 despite all scans and test coming back negative for cancer. I am now told I have diverticulitis and am given antibiotics an that this can cause this high number in CA19-9. My question os this possible? developing pneumonia then rhuematoid arthritis I have had fluid. buildup around both lungs and had drained several times
[|AI|]  HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI can understand your problem, this could be post-operative complications and this takes longer than enough time to resolve, some time one after another complication arises, this is the big hurdle coming across and becomes challenge for the doctor, withe right treatment and good nursing care results are excellent, hope you will be having the same results, I would be happy to help you for your further query, take care bye
