Newly diagnosed with gallbladder cancer

Hi, my mum has just been diagnosed with gallbladder cancer.  Because it was diagnosed too late the consultant saying it’s too dangerous to take it out as she is jaundice abd lost a lot of weight and chemo not an option either.  Basically been told there are no options for treatment and could just be months.  Anyone else on here had gallbladder cancer.  Just trying to decide whether to get a 2nd opinion from a cancer specialist consultant.
