How do I cope with gallbladder pain while waiting for cancer surgery?

Get a second opinion. Quickly. If your gallbladder has complications it can be devastating. I am not a doctor but with minimal invasion a gallbladder can quickly and carefully be resolved. Or move up your mastectomy perhaps. Again get a second opinion in short order. You deserve the best outcome

I agree without a really good explanation.....

May God guide you in your search for the right decision for you.

Oh my gosh, get that gallbladder removed! If they can do it laparoscopically it’s a piece of cake! No need to be miserable on two accounts! I’ve been there! It’s awful! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

My primary doctor is trying to get me in soon for my gallbladder 😔. Idk why they are making me wait 🥺 gallbladder pain is no joke 🤦‍♀️my mastectomy is in 2 weeks

Go to the ED sherry and complain the will most likely do an emergency surgery.

How hot is your gallbladder ? That can be risky when I was waiting for my gallbladder surgery I lived on turkey with mustard on pita would keep me from having an attack sorry are dealing with all this

I would get the gallbladder out first because you could become very ill from that then it would interfere with healing from the mastectomy

Go to a different ER and don't tell them about your breast cancer....

Managing pain while waiting for surgery can be incredibly challenging, and it's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed when dealing with both gallbladder discomfort and preparing for upcoming procedures. Many patients find relief through gentle heat application, staying hydrated, eating small low-fat meals, and working with their medical team on appropriate pain management options during this waiting period.
