Hi and thank you for your post. 

Firstly apologies for the delay in our reply, we did not receive the notifications for your post until now.

I am sorry to learn that your partner has kidney cancer, this must be a very difficult time.

I cannot say why these comments were made but I can imagine this was very upsetting to hear. I wondered if your partner has a nurse specialist who is involved in their care, who knows their situation, whom you could discuss this with and feedback on, or if you feel you can speak with the consultant again about their comments.

If you did feel you wanted to make a complaint to the hospital there is information about how to complain to the NHS on their website.

I hope this helps a little. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Take care,

Jemma
