Pathology report?: The most important piece of information when assessing for gallbladder cancer is to ask your surgeon for the pathology report from your lap chole on 2/1. If that doesn't show cancer, then you can breath a sigh of relief.

Bile leak: This seem to be related to a biloma, an amount of bile gathered into a collection after a cholecystectomy. I recommend you to have your imaging reviewed by a biliary expert.
