February is Gallbladder and Bile Duct Cancer Awareness Month 💚
These cancers are rare, but they deeply impact the lives of those diagnosed and their families. At Salish Cancer Center, we believe awareness leads to earlier conversations, earlier detection, and stronger support for our community.
What to Know:
• Gallbladder and bile duct cancers often don’t cause symptoms early on.
• Persistent abdominal pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), unexplained weight loss, or dark urine should never be ignored.
• Certain risk factors, including chronic inflammation, gallstones, and some liver conditions, can increase risk.
If something doesn’t feel right, talk with your provider. Early evaluation matters.
This month, we honor those affected by gallbladder and bile duct cancers and encourage open conversations about symptoms, risk, and care. Knowledge empowers us all. 💚
