I have a friend who said his gallbladder is only working at 3%, but his doctor said not to worry about that at this point. They want to see about another pain, which they want to do a C-Scan of his stomach to make sure he does not have cancer in his stomach lining? Is that a normal thing for a doctor to say not to be worried about the gallbladder? Because of a cancer? Would he need to get his gallbladder remove anyway since its only working at 3%?
Hi thanks for asking question. If gall bladder is working then there is no need for its removal just now.Instead, if you have symptoms regarding stomach cancer like abdominal pain, blood omitting, fever , weight loss then investigation done to rule out growth in stomach like endoscopy or ct scan. If malignancy comes then need for searching of metastasis is to be done. Just now try to take fatty food to a minimum and eat small meal at frequent interval. No need of gall bladder removal until it is working. I hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health
