Post surgery advice

Hi LynnS

After surgery don't do any heavy lifting for at least six weeks to give yourself time to recover.  Rest when you need to.  Have a body lotion on hand to keep the area moist after each radiotherapy session.  Drink plenty of fluids as well.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes

You'll be given a sheet with exercises to do. Make sure you do them. If you can only do a little bit, do the litttle bit. Don't put it off.

When they discharge you, make sure you've checked the discharge letter and that it's accurate - mine wasn't.

I was lucky in that I felt fine and had no pain at all - discomfort, yes, but not pain. So on a couple of occasions I found myself doing stuff I probably shouldn't have done, and afterwards I did have twinges. They didn't matter; it was the worry that I might've done myself some damage. So don't think you're an invalid, but do think twice before mowing the lawn or whatever.

You'l be fine!
