Hi there and thanks for posting

I am sorry to hear about your wife's situation and appreciate making a decision about treatment can be difficult.

Unfortunately there is no one other than your wife that can choose what to do. However it is important both you and your wife make an informed decision together weighing up all the risks versus the benefits of both options.

There is more information about kidney cancer on our website. It includes information about the surgery to remove all or part of the kidney including possible side effects or complications.

Likewise there is information about monitoring a kidney cancer through a watch and wait approach and what happens through this process.

I hope this helps but do talk through any other questions you have with the team involved in your wife's care. Remember they have access to all your wife's records and medical records that may help to guide you in which path to go down at this time.

Please get back if you need to.

Best wishes to you both.

Naomi
