  • Hello Carysh

    I'm sorry to hear that your husband has recently been diagnosed with kidney cancer and that currently, he's now waiting for the results of a further biopsy. It's understandable that this is a difficult time for you both. 

    Were you given contact details for a specialist cancer nurse after his diagnosis? Please do call them to let them know about the pain and sickness that he's struggling with. Alternatively, you can call his GP for advice and support. There are options for being able to manage these symptoms and if further tests are needed to investigate them then they can be arranged. 

    If you'd like to talk with one of our nurses for some support and advice you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope that these symptoms are better managed in the near future Carysh and that you both have some answers soon. 

    Do keep in touch and let us know how things are. 

    Best wishes,
