If you don't have the surgery, your
gallbladder could get infected and it
could spread to your pancreas. Are you
having symptoms? Maybe you should just
go ahead and have the surgery. I'm
scheduled for sept 14.

Though you can function just fine for
years with gallstones, if you are
experiencing symptoms of gallbladder
problems it may be time to take it out.
If it has been a while since you had an
ultrasound, I would repeat it. If there
are any further doubts, do a hida scan,
but don't let them give cck if you have
gallstones.
I too was told my gallbladder is partially
collapsed. And that I have a subtel 1 cm
low density on the tail of my pancreas.
Anyone know what that means. I had kidney
cancer in 2004 and had my right kidney
removed.

I believe that means they see something on
your pancreas that should not be there,
such as a growth or damage etc. And since
you have a history of cancer, i'd not
hesitate too long. You should also have
the gallbladder removed. From experiance
the surgery is not that bad & they can
probably get a look at your pancreas at
the same time. If you don't remove the
gallbladder in the state its in, it could
become infected & even turn gangrene.
