I hope you find a sense of community here and can start to feel less alone. Your situation sounds complex and challenging. One day at a time, as they say. While the prognosis in general may be poor, that doesn't mean YOUR prognosis is poor. Try to not let your fear rule the situation. Expect answers from your health care providers, gather information, and make decisions based on the reality of your situation. I have to have my gallbladder removed on April 2, and I, too, am worried about gallbladder cancer since it is a higher risk because of my genetic mutation (Lynch Syndrome). Let's both hope for the best and face whatever we have to face. I hope others will join the discussion and offer you some support. You will be in my thoughts.

You can read my reply to Colleen on the previous page. It starts out, "Thank you, Colleen. I had a very interesting turn of events..." The surgery never happened yesterday, and it may never happen. For now, I have to go on the assumption that I don't have gallbladder cancer or biliary duct cancer. But I will always offer you any hope that I can in terms of your treatment and prognosis.

I have been diagnosed with Gallbladder cancer. Already had surgery to remove the T4- Stage 4a tumor that invaded half my liver, a portion of my intestines and bile ducts which were all removed. I’ve never even heard of Gallbladder cancer before I was diagnosed. They want me to start on Xeloda and then after 4 months on chemo they want me to start on both Xeloda nd radiation. I feel very ALONE with this diagnosis as only 2 in 100,000 people get it and very AFRAID bcz of the poor prognosis. Can ANYONE relate???

How are you?
I have stage 3. They only removed part of my liver and 9 lymph nodes. I pray you are well.

@theresamoh, I'm tagging fellow members like @formayor @viopp @johnny2053 @edie78t @tammie4jc @maortiz1987 who have experience with gallbladder cancer. They may be able to share experiences with Xeloda and radiation treatment after surgery.

Theresa, have you started Xeloda now? How are you doing?
