The gallbladder is intimately tied with the liver and pancreas:

Nicotinamide Riboside eliminated cancer tumors in liver and pancreatic cancer subjects—both in mice and humans:

We gave a close relative with a 4 centimeter tumor, shown on an X-ray, 450 mg of nicotinamide riboside (with a few other cofactors), to take it, and normal vitamins and minerals he never had, before his surgery. When they took another image of the tumor the day before his surgery, the tumor was completely gone. The doctors could not explain it, but my relative told them what he did. The surgery was canceled.
Many cancers have dysfunctional mitochondria powering their cells. Supplements helping cause mitophagy can help eliminate these defective mitochondria. GlyNAC and Urolithin A have both been shown to encourage mitophagy. These could be an adjunct approach.
It sounds like your friend has no medical options, so consider these supplements as an alternative.
Both my wife and I take 300 mg of liposomal nicotinamide riboside a day, 3,600 mg of GlyNAC (1,800 mg of glycine and 1,800 mg of NAC) a day, and 1,000 mg of Urolithin A a day. We have had no issues for the nearly three months we've been on this regimen, and my wife finally got rid of neck disc issues she's had for 15 years, just in the last two weeks. She has had chronic neck and shoulder pain she was told would always be with her, and it's now gone.
Of course, this is anecdotal for the experiences I tell you, so it needs to be take as such, but for someone with limited options and with people taking these doses, it may be worth a try.
Do make sure he has a good multi-vitamin and multi-mineral, too.
I hope he is able to improve his prognosis.

I don’t mind doing research, but it’s been one of those days, so do you have a quick precis of the method of action on these supplements on connective tissue?
