Hello and thanks for posting

I'm sorry to read about your father's situation. This must be a difficult time for you both.

It's important that your father gets all the information he needs to make a decision that is right for him.The following questions may be helpful for him to ask his doctor:

What are the potential benefits and risks of each treatment option?

How will each treatment option impact his daily life and activities?

How will having stage 4 kidney failure affect his treatment?

Are there any long term complications he should be aware of with each treatment?

What can be expected if he chooses not to undergo either treatment?

I hope this helps. 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.

Kind regards,

Celene
