She stopped eating for two months and has lost 25 lbs. After two months, she was admitted overnight for dehydration and more test. She was released the next day. She was having all of the symptoms as for Gallbladder cancer. She can only intake broth and liquids and is forced to do that. How much longer can she live in such a state?

This is serious. Ask why they can't operate. This is painful. Like I just posted on a thread, its now three small incisions and somehow they pull the gallbladder thru. This is one organ we can do without.

See my most recent question - just went through a horrible 2-3 months of gallbladder issues with my dad. My dad is 85 and went into ER at Xmas with inflamed and infected gallbladder. They refused to remove it because of his other health issues. They instead placed a tube and drain and that led to sepsis. He almost died but did pull through after IV antibiotics in ICU. It has caused much decline overall and he now has to have gallbladder tube/drain forever.

If I were you, I'd demand to see test results. I don't know about gallbladder cancer but it seems like at her age, they could just take out the gallbladder. Then it can be tested for cancer, etc. The symptoms of not eating and weight loss were what my dad had when he was septic. It was when it progressed to confusion and slurring of speech that I took him to ER. I wouldn't mess around, get her seen, more tests, get the results of blood tests etc and get a 2nd opinion. IF she can have it taken out, do it.
