When do you think you’ll have the results of the blood tests?

have to book tests
3 weeks because specific tests
so a month

done for if it’s this
less than 90% five year survival

Ok. I know it’s easier said than done, but don’t panic until you know the results of the blood tests.

90% 5 year survival sounds like good odds though.

If it were me, I’d probably stay away from googling anything further. It’ll probably drive you bananas.

After gall bladder removal stools are usually loose for a long time, maybe forever. That’s from the bile being continuously pumped into the intestinal tract instead of sitting in the gall bladder and released when digesting.

Your weight loss sounds fine, especially with the eating healthy and cutting sugar. I lost a ton of weight by adjustment to my diet before.
