It depends on Diagns: It depends on the diagnosis. Her physician will need to evaluate her to see what the best diagnosis is. This may not be that serious. Her physician will need to assess her and see if she needs a biopsy. The decision to advise surgery or no surgery will depend on the data collected.

No: A nodule in the liver or gall bladder cannot be removed without surgical excision.

Possible: Surgery for a GB is usually pretty simple, need to asses how much pain, what are her risks, other medical illness and see if this is right there are other treatments, not always better.
