Is it true that if I have my gall bladder removed I am at a higher risk for cancer...I am Lynch Syndrome positive and my mom died of colon cancer..I am 72 yrs of age and have had Uterine Papillary Serous carcinoma -uterine cancer =aggressive, high recurrence, etc. Is it also true that no one lives past 6-7 years with this cancer? thank you so much, ann maffettone YYYY@YYYY
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.First gall bladder removal has no relation with cancer risk so don't worry about that. If you have lynched syn Chat Doctor.  Your mother died in colon cancer, so you also have some risk factor for that. Right now you have uterine cancer. You have papillary serous carcinoma. Survival rate depends on stage and spread of cancer. If it is in early stage, and you take proper treatment like hysterectomy and chemotherapy then survival rate is good. In late stage cancer survival rate is not good despite treatment. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.  Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/
