Hello and thanks for posting,

I can understand your concern. If your mum is willing to give verbal and/or written consent for you to speak freely with her hospital team, that would help.

You could then make direct contact with the hospital team, and there may well be a hospital clinical nurse specialist (CNS) for urology. If not then via the consultant's secretary requesting a call back. You would then be able to ask about the situation and planned treatment. It is likely that they would have told your mum whether they thought it could be cancer, and she may not have grasped the conversation fully as this does happen. If something has spread to another nearby organ, then it is likely to be a cancer. I am sorry if this is upsetting to read.

But it is only her hospital team that can fully explain this to you.

I hope that this helps,

Best wishes,

Vanda
