His weight is 65kg and health condition is not good as he was. So docor told me if the jaundice level controled then we can go to kemo therapy but that might not be good.

Gallbladder cancers with jaundice have poor prognosis. if it is metastatic, i am sorry that not much can be done about it. however kindly consult a medical oncologist regarding the option of chemotherapy.
