What Are The Complications Of Gall Bladder Cancer In Elderly?
My grandmother is 92 yrs old and she was dignosed with gall bladder cancer. The doctor is releasing her today, they said there is nothing else they can do just let it run its course. My question is what problems are we facing? What do we need to look for?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
you are facing with fact that your grandma will probably pass aways within few months since this is fast progressing disease and nothing can be done. she will have obstruction of biliary tract and hepatic insufficinecy and probably this will be dierect cause of death. she needs all your emotional support,thats all you can give her.
Wish you good health. Regards
