Hi all, may 24 my gallbladder ‘played up’and in hospital over nite where the radiologist noted that malignancy needed to be ruled out—- nothing was said to me.
august it played up again and it was all systems go ,referred to a specialist nurse and all scans,mri,pet scan,biphasic scan said cancer at neck of gallbladder- T4 n1. Referred to Kings as the specialists and they wouldn’t operate due to effecting veins and hepatic artery.
First biopsy via guided scan only did the skin of gallbladder and didn’t think he got anything.
Second biopsy via stomach and aiming for ‘ blueberries in a muffin’ —- nothing.
Third via Kings and general anaesthetic —nothing —- just ill effects for a week and kept as inpatient.
Now ?. Await multi team thoughts and potentially open surgery though thought not feasible 10 weeks ago.
still being told that likely cancer will be found when removed.
Must admit my ‘ stoic’ mind set is struggling !
