 Cancer of The Gall Bladder
Because it is so uncommon and because its symptoms mirror those of far more common ailments, cancer of the gall bladder is usually not found until it is at an advanced stage and cannot be surgically removed.
Gall bladder cancer tends to spread to nearby organs and tissues such as the liver or small intestine.
Although it occurs most often in people with porcelain gall bladders where repeated inflammation from passing gallstones leads to hardening (calcification) of the gall bladder, it is extremely rare even in such patients.

 East Bay Traditional Chinese Medicine
Urinary Bladder: Paired with the Kidney, the Urinary Bladder is a Yang organ in charge of storing and excreting urine, much as we understand it in western medicine.
Gall Bladder: The Gall Bladder is a Yang organ paired with the Liver, which belongs to Yin.
Unique to TCM, the Gall Bladder is also said to control courage in decision-making, and thus someone who is indecisive can often be treated successfully by treating the Gall Bladder meridian.

 CANCER
Tumors in the bile duct leading from the gall bladder to the common bile duct (cystic duct) can spread to involve the gall bladder.
If the tumour blocks the bile duct and causes jaundice and it is not possible to remove the tumour, other procedures may be performed to relieve the blockage and allow the bile to go into the intestine.
The surgical method of dealing with blockage (obstruction) of the bile duct involves joining the gall bladder (or the bile duct) to part of your small bowel (the duodenum or jejunum).

In this case, the missing gall bladder could cause headaches because of the hyperactivity due to the missing gall bladder.

They share functions and are connected by meridians, ie, the heart and the small intestine, the liver and the gallbladder, the spleen and the stomach, the lungs and the large intestine and the kidneys and the urinary bladder.

 Medical Acupuncture Journal, Vol 6, No 1 Spring 94 - Daoist Concept of Alarm Points
The ordinary or regular Fu contain the products of the digestive and excretory systems: food, chyme, urine, stool - and these are all seen as impure materials which do not share in the essential nature of the organism.
The Extraordinary Fu, however, contain only pure materials: Marrow, Blood, even Bile, which are seen as sharing in the essential nature of the organism.
The basic idea in treatment is to direct the flow of Jing, or constitutional energy, to the Zang or Fu that is at the root of the patient's problem.

Damp and heat in the gall bladder Clinical manifestations: Yellow sclera and skin, pain in the costal and hypochondrial region, pain in the right upper abdominal quadrant and a bitter taste in the mouth.
Aetiology and pathology: The function of the gall bladder is to store and excrete bile, and this depends on the normal function of the gan-liver.
Exogenous damp and/or heat (heat caused by depression of the gan-liver, damp and heat caused by overindulgence in alcohol and rich food) may accumulate in the gan-liver and gall bladder, thereby impairing the free flow of qi.
