Kidney cancer diagnosis

My husband is currently in hospital with acute symptoms of kidney cancer. He has a diagnosis,and this is the third time he has been admitted in 12 weeks, but treatment is taking an age, and I am concerned about his mental health. Feeling quite helpless!

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    I am sorry to hear of the current situation. It can be quite demoralising when things do not seem to be coming together.

    Do try and get some time to speak with his hospital team to get an update on how things are. If you husband has a very low mood, then do ask his team if there is any mental health support available within the hospital, that he could be referred to. 

    I hope this helps,

    Kind regards,
