My husband is due in for his op on the 10th January .we are trying to sort out his clothes etc for at least 2 weeks in hospital as I will not be able to visit him because of covid what we are wondering is will he need button up pj tops or a dressing gown on or will he be able to put t shirts on ?
They will be opening him up down 1 side and across his stomach .
Would like to ask what have you found most comfortable wearing after the operation?
Any suggestions or advice most welcome xxxx
I'm so sorry to hear this. Hopefully the treatment plan will be helpful. Big hugs xxx
Really sorry to hear your news Mum247, time to refocus though now on the treatment and moving forward I am also stage 4 the Doctors told me I am incurable. However since starting treatment I feel a lot better and my symptoms are improving every day. Hopefully future scans will reflect upon how I am feeling and that will change. So many people have been told they are inoperable and with treatment that has changed. Treatment has progressed so much in recent years. Believe in the doctors, focus on getting the right nutrition and be positive whilst enjoying life for what it is.
Thank you Vinny1986 , I'm glad you are beginning to feel better and your symptoms are easing long may that continue fof you .
I think the waiting and uncertainty amplify the feeling of hopelessness . Hopefully we will hear soon what his treatment plan will be and can prepare and focus x
The waiting is frustrating, but the specialists will be doing tests on your tumour to ensure they set up the right treatment plan. Things are moving in the background even if it feels like forever for you. Do update us when you know the plan so others can share their experiences to help you prepare :)
