  • Hi  

    I had a search in the group for anyone who has dealt with a nephrostomy, but it seems there is little information, so it may be that there isn’t anyone with ovarian cancer who has been through this. 

    You could try a search in the community overall by typing “nephrostomy” into the search bar beside the magnifying glass at the top of the page as it may have been discussed in other groups. I’m afraid I can’t help as I have a urostomy so it’s a different kind of system altogether. I hope you can find out some relevant info in a wider search.
