Small bowel cancer. (Partner)

He had op to remove large tumour from his small bowel in process they found it leaked into his bladder. In which he’s now got stoma and ostomy bag for life.  He’s bringing up green bile constantly. His kidneys are weak. He’s had stents in his kidneys to drain them.  But he keeps signing himself out.  He’s so ill but stubborn!!! I’m very concerned his kidneys will fail on him.  Any help? 

  • Welcome to the forum Trace1972 although I'm sorry to hear about your partner. This must be a very difficult and frustrating time for you both.

    If you have your partner's permission, don't hesitate to contact his medical team for further information and advice as they'll be in the best position to advise. In the meantime, you're very welcome to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040. Their helpline is open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease about your partner's situation.

    Hopefully some of our members who have experience of this or been in a similar situation when looking after their loved ones will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    We're thinking of you Trace and sending you both all our strength and support at this challenging time.

    Kind regards,
