Hi Marcia, she does still have her gallbladder. When this all started she went to ER for pain on her side, they suspected gallbladder, did scans and it was not and that is when they found the tumor. I will ask her about it again to make sure it was still viewed before finding the tumor, I would sure hope so though. Good question for her oncologist tomorrow.
Thank you for the tips on food, that's a good idea, she has eaten so little. Thank you

Hello @lovemymom1

I agree with @marciak9's comment about a change in diet. I have had three surgeries of the upper digestive tract for a rare form of cancer, and I've found that an eating plan low in fat, but also low in quantity is important. Small, frequent, low-fat foods will probably work best right now.

As an example, I may have several breakfast meals rather than one regular meal. Such as one scrambled egg and an hour later I may have a half of a banana, etc. or a half of a piece of toast, etc. This is the way I eat throughout the day. This may seem cumbersome, but it really helps to keep up nourishment, weight and energy when you have any digestive tract disorders.
