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

@gallbladder01, it sounds like you had surgery. Will you have additional treatment? Were cancer cells found in the lymph nodes? How are you doing?

Yes. I had surgery and I am on capecitabine twice daily and days 1 and 8 I do gemcitabine. I get one week off though! That starts tomorrow! I am so happy!

It has been almost 4 years after finding out my wife had gallbladder cancer. We found out after surgery to remove her gallbladder because of gallstones. I am glad we didn’t take the doctors advice to remove parts of her liver and lymph nodes or start chemotherapy. All is still good.
