Then why you waited: Yes 6.5 mm gall bladder will have slightly higher incidence of being cancer 7.1 % compared to female, don't worry get the gall bladder removed and stop worrying, it is a low risk procedure.

Agree with Dr. R: Crying is understandable but not helpful. See your doctor for a proper treatment, which may involve removal of gall bladder. Wish you good health!
