My wife, age 70, was just diagnosed with gallbladder cancer, stage 2. Has anyone with this condition undergone treatment with good results?

Are there supplements that will help. Help!

From what I understand, Stage 2 is still considered an early stage for this cancer.  Make sure you get to a dr who specializes in this type of cancer since it is rare and many drs have only seen a handful of cases.  Not sure if you are near NYC, Baltimore or Houston but those all have large cancer centers.  My dad goes to Sloan Kettering in NYC.  He has Stage 2B and had a liver resection in March.  He has not had chemo or radiation at this point.  There is a discussion board for Johns Hopkins which is helpful and you may want to also visit.  Prognosis is best for this when caught early and can be surgically removed.

Thank you for your response to my message. I have an appointment this week at Sloan -Kettering. I presume your Dad went there. I wish you well.

My dad does go there.  He sees Dr. D'Angelica (surgeon) and an oncologist in the NJ office (Dr. Kasper).
