Hi Flowglow and thank you for your post.

I am very sorry to hear about your husband’s situation, and I can appreciate you want to do all you can to help him.

I’m afraid as a team of information nurses, we do not recommend treatment or advise how long the treatment should continue for as we are not involved in your husband’s clinical care and do not know all his medical details.

His hospital specialist are better placed to advise you on when his nephrostomy tube can be removed this is because  they are familiar with all your husband’s medical details.

The urologist may be waiting for the oncologist to inform them as to when the tube can be removed.

You may find it helpful to speak to your husband’s specialist team and hopefully they will be able to provide some clarity on his current situation

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

Tina
