How long a patient with gall bladder cancer and liver cancer survive?
Patient: My mother was diagnosed with Gall Bladder cancer that spread to her liver 18 months ago.  She had surgery at that time where they cut a section of the liver in an attempt remove it.  Sadly that didn't work and the cancer is still there.  She has recently had a stent put into her bile ducts to make her more comfortable.  How much longer will we have her with us - weeks? months? Doctor: HiYour mother is suffering from stage 4 gall bladder cancer.Aim of treatment at this stage is palliative chemotherapy to improve survival and improve quality of life,As she has stent put in her bile ducts and already in stage 4 of the disease she will live on an average from 6 to 8 months.RegardsDR De
