Worry

Hello Aluna 

Thank you for your post - although I am so sorry to find you back here. I am not medically trained and as far as I am aware it would depend on the location of the two cancers and the chemotherapy drug(s) used. My 3 suggestions are:

* Check with his oncologist.

* You could put the question to a Macmillan Nurse on our "Ask a Nurse" service, the link is here Ask a Nurse. Please do give them a couple of days to answer at busy times. 

* It's possible someone on the Gallbladder Cancer group has an answer - link here  Gallbladder Group. You could ask the same question on that group.

I am sorry to be so vague - let's hope someone has the knowledge to answer your question.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hello Aluna and thank you for the update but what a journey you are on. None of us are medically trained but what I did was check which chemotherapy drugs are used for gall bladder cancer and then cross referenced them for trials in different types of prostate cancer. Gall bladder cancer seems to be treated with a combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin and this combination does show some efficacy particularly for the rarer forms of prostate cancer. Docetaxel is the normal first line chemotherapy drug for prostate cancer and there has just been a phase II trial of this as a first line treatment for gallbladder cancer with some success. It all depends on which drugs are used. Come back to us if your husband does have chemotherapy and we can give you some pointers on keeping safe and what to expect.

Thank you for your reply , it helps just getting it out ‘on paper’if you know what I mean . I think after reading your post I’ll try asking the experts , it looks quite hopeful 

thanks again
