Gallbladder stage 4. No cure can be expected. With or without chemotherapy survival is about 6 months. If ur grandfather condition is not fit u can opt for no treatment also at least he will have some benefit of spending time at home. Plan: Best supportive care VS palliative chemotherapy.

Gall bladder cancers are difficult to treat, have seen your reports, palliative chemo seems to be the way for now
