Hi I am 47 and just been diagnosed with Gall Bladder Cancer, It started with having gallstones and having my gall bladder removed, thats when the cancer was discovered. I had a cat scan with contrast which was negative and an colonoscopy which was normal. I will be getting surgery in two weeks to remove my lympnodes and surrounding tissue to determind my prognosis. Its the waiting that is the worst. I have a 10 year old son and even though I know they caught it eary and my chances are really good, there is still a chance that they did not get it all. I have been told that I will be on Radiation treatment every day for 5 weeks along with a once weekly chemo treatment, than after the 5 weeks I will be on regular chemo for 4 months (3 weeks on 1 week off). Has anyone tried natural remedies that work. This seems to be the course of treatment for this type of cancer as it is so rare. I don't mind the treatments, as anything that will help it not come back is a good thing. I have good days and bad days. Is there anyone else who has this cancer at this stage?
I just thought I would check in and see how your surgery went. I hope this message finds you doing well. Have you started your treatments yet? My mom also has gallbladder cancer and I am trying to reach out to anybody I can to see if together we could find something that works. She does not want any treatments so I try to encourage her to eat healty. Have you found any natural remedies that work? Please let me know how things are going. God Bless you and your Family.
