Hello can anyone help with any advice on what els I need to do to help my partner get well,he hasn't been well for a while he has just had an operation to have his bladder shaved as doctors told him he has bladder cancer also he is due a Whipple operation very soon i hope as he is in constant pain is anyone else going by through this
Hello and welcome to the community, although sorry to hear of your partner. I am from the bladder group. The operation your partner has had is called a TURBT (trans urethral resection of bladder tumour) . A biopsy will be taken and the results determine if any further treatment is needed. Be aware bladder cancer can be treated successfully. A Whipple operation s not generally associated with bladder cancer. I notice you have posted in the ask a nurse section, so I am sure you will get some professional advice there when the nurses pick up your post. Best wishes.
Thank you for getting back to me my partner was diagnosed with bladder cancer also a tumour was found hey have told us he will need a Whipple operation if they think he is well enough he has lost a lot of weight and is on creon to help can you tell me how serious Whipple operation is please??? I couldn't ask the doctor when my partner was there as I don't want him to be worried thank you
