question: Male patient 79 wipple procedure in 2011 for pancreatic cancer. Uneventful recovery and subsequent chemo with Gemzar (3 cycles only) suspended for allergic reaction (pneumonia). Markers normal up until July 2014 (Ca 19 7.9 , CEA 66 , Ca 125 67) follow up. He has COPD well managed and Bell paralysis. Waiting for consult with Ent for ear pain (neurologist strongly suggest the possibility of occult shingles ). Can CEA and Ca 125 increase be related to Herpes zooster?
