Hi
I was wondering if anyone has had a nephrostomy and also a catheter fitted as well.
I am asking as a concerned daughter for my Dad. We have noticed that the catheter bag has now stopped draining however the nephrostomy is draining fine. When he had a bladder scan a month ago when this was happening, they said there was nothing in the bladder.
I am just concerned maybe this has happened as the tumour has grown and blocked the one side of the kidney.
Dad unfortunately is terminally ill and considering he was told end Jan 24 he would have a few weeks left to live he is such a fighter.
Maybe I am over thinking what is going on and this is normal just wondering has anyone else experienced this?
Hi Prindos . Sorry to hear about your Dad and the problem he is having with the catheter. No personal experience but I thought it might be an idea to give NHS 111 a call for advice. The nurses on the free Mac helpline may also be able to help, 0800 808 000 (8-8pm). Best wishes.
