Gallbladder Cancer
Symptoms
You can live
with gallbladder cancer for years without experiencing any symptoms. The tumor does not usually cause symptoms
until it has begun to spread to adjacent organs or when the bile ducts are obstructed. When symptoms finally
emerge, they are not specifically related to cancer; other diseases such as Intestinal
obstruction and
gallstones can provoke the same signs and symptoms as gallbladder cancer.
As the cancer
is gaining control of your body, you can experience at least one of these symptoms:
- fever
- nausea
- malaise
- jaundice
- weight
loss
- loss of
appetite
- vomiting
- itching
- swelling
of the abdomen
-
palpable mass in the right upper quadrant (abdomen)
- pain in
the upper right of your abdomen
- digestion
problems, especially when you eat fatty foods .
