MY uncle age 59 years Male and we knew from Apollo New Delhi Hospital that he is suffering from Gallbladder Metastatic CA Syst HTN, Type 2 DM. 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. They are not hopeful for his life more than 3 months, is there any way to longer his life?

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.
