Nephrostomy bag

Has anyone had or been told they need a Nephrostomy bag? I am still waiting on my PET scan but just had a call from the hospital to say my case has been discussed and even tho my treatment plan meeting isn’t until the 24th they have said my right kidney is healthy but at risk of becoming blocked in the future so they want me to have a Nephrostomy bag to prevent any future problems. I asked questions and the nurse just read from the cancer research website. 

  • Hi Nightthinking,

    I wanted to send a reply to your post to give it a little boost, so a few more people should see it and hopefully you'll get more replies, particularly from anyone with similar experience.

    Try to make a note of any questions you have so that you can get all the answers and information you need when you have your next appointment.

    Our nurses are also available if you'd like to talk things through at all. You can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
