Hi everyone,

I am Thishanth from Switzerland. I have read your comments on this cancer website. My mother has been diagnosed for a stage 4b gallbladder cancer. Here the doctors say that there is no other options than palliative one (chemotherapy: Gemcitabin/Cisplatin).

First, I wanted the doctors to remove the gallbladder or somehow to do a surgery, but they refused telling me that there was no use. I read on the website that there were lots of survivors of this kind of cancer who did the surgeries.

Then, they began the chemotherapy, but she's having always something disturbing the sessions, because she has bacterias or blood constituants problems. 

Now, you're my last hope, because I want to know if there are some other doctors in other countries who can still do a surgery or do something in order to make my mother survive. 

Now it's been 2 months that she has been diagnosed and her level is just lowering, she had only one session of chemotherapy in 2 months.

I would be so happy if we can talk on either whatsapp or viber and here is my phone number: 0041798550565

I am eagerly waiting for your answer, please do give me your best advice and your best help, I would be so thankful.

    stage 4 gallbladder cancer

    hi my name is candice, my mom brandy 43 a mother of 7 we are all in are 20s and she has a 1 and 3 year old she was recently diagnosed with stage 4 gallbladder cancer this past 2016 Christmas. Probably the worst Christmas of are lives, but still happy where able to have are mother here. She was put on chemo witch seemed to be working but her lasted MRI results indicated that she had 11 new tumors on her liver and surgery wasn't a option. This is very hard on us but mostly for are little brother and sister they don't understand why my mom is in and out of the hospital this is devastating to all of us. The doctors are not giving us much hope. She is at kaisaer right now me and my siblings where able to get her better insurance so she can seek the best medical help we just don't know where to start if anyone can be help that would be wonderful thank you!
