i was diagnosed with gallbladder cancer 12 months ago. The gallbladder was surgically removed and the pathology was T1a stage. Now one year later a tumor was recently discovered in the lining of my stomach directly below where the gallbladder was. If the cancer gall bladder cancer has metastasized what stage would the cancer be at this point?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
At the time of diagnosing, the stage was T1 only. After a gap of 12 months, tumor might have recurred in that area.
So, the tumour grade was upstaged. Now, the stage may be M1.
My suggestion is please visit oncologist for management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
