Gallbladder cancer - had jaundice for 3 days but back to normal now. Is this a good sign? I'm waiting for results to find out whether it has spread

Hi i was told last week i have a small mass of cancer in my gallbladder. I had a scan. Mri. Cat and pet scan. I was initially in a lot of pain from gallstones and they found this mass by accident. I had jaundice for about 3 days but im back to normal colour now. No one has explained this too me. Im no longer in any kind of pain.  I would like to know if this is a good sign 

Im waiting for results this week and whether it is contained or has spread. 

  • Hello Amanda58 and thanks for your post,

    Waiting for tests and results of tests can be so unsettling. Your team of doctors need to get the results of all your tests before they can tell you more about the mass on your gallbladder. Your doctors may be reluctant to give you more information before they have a chance to discuss your case at a Multi Disciplinary Team Meeting where all the doctors involved in your care will formally meet to discuss your case.

    I can't say what it means now your jaundice has gone but hopefully you will know more soon.

    You are welcome to ring and chat any of this through with one of the helpline nurses. The number to ring is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine
