Upper abdomen CT scan has done, doctors are saying that the tumor is so big & malignant is there so no scope for surgery, they will do chemotherapy. My question is that is chemotherapy will work & in this case how long patient will survive.

Gall bladder cancer is known to be aggressive and not very chemosensitive. Surgery remains the preferred treatment irrespective of the size as long as there is no spread. Can assess the operability only after going through the scans.
