Hi there, my partner has mesothelioma and I'm finding the advice and support here on these groups a great comfort. My partner is spending most of his time now in bed and he often finds it hard to get comfortable sitting. I just wondered if anyone had found a good cushion to sit on - I'm a bit worried about bed sores. Thanks very much.
Thanks very much Mick, that's really good advice - I managed to get in touch with one of the district nurses in the end and they're going to give us a special mattress topper to try out and something to try when he's sitting. What a relief! Thanks for the offer of the cushion too, but fingers crossed the mattress will do the job.
