Hello, first timer here
I am 3 weeks post Whipple and on 1st Oct will have a port/cath fitted under GA. Will I be able to shower with it or will I have to cover it? Thanks in advance x
Hi Lady Aga and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry no one from the group has been able to answer your question. I'm not going to be able to help either, not having had this procedure, but I noticed that your post had gone unanswered.
Could I suggest that you post your question in the ask a nurse section of the community and one of the specialist nurses will aim to get back to you within 2 working days.
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You could copy and paste most of what you've said here into your profile or take a look at mine by clicking on my username to see the sort of thing you could add.
