Possible Surgery

I am on the wait and watch  program with my NHL, but a new crinkle has arrived.  My family doctor says I might need gall bladder removal.  Does anyone know for  a fact. that this will cause the lymphoma to kick the disease up a notch?  I had heard that once oxegen hits it, it might activate up.  They are discussing whether I should have surgery

Please help, and let me know if you know this to be true

Thanks :)

Perhaps I can put your mind at ease. I was diagnosed with NHL in May 2004. It was actually during surgery on a partially collapsed, infected and entrapped lung that the enlarged lymph node that tested positive for NHL was found on my heart. (The lymph node was needle biopsied. I'm sure in hindsight the surgeon wishes he'd removed it.) Tests done several days later revealed a huge tumor in my chest and smaller ones in both lungs all inoperable. Chemo was recommended to me at that time but I opted instead to "watch and wait" and began alternative treatments. Through special diet, many supplements including Avemar and Intravenous Vitamin C treatments all my symptoms of disease disappeared and so it would appear that the non Hodgkin's was not activated by the exposure to oxygen at all. If you would like information on my successful alternative protocol let me know.
