Hi All,
My Wife was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer yesterday. When she comes home, I want to make sure that she is as comfortable as she can be. I thought I'd start by replacing the mattress. She usually sleeps on her sides. Simba mattresses look really good but I wondered if anyone had any better advice or if they thought that I was on the right track? Thanks in advance
Hi
Sorry to hear about your wife’s illness. Making her comfortable is a really good idea. A cosy blanket and pillow on the couch is good as I found that a good option when I felt really tired.
The medical team will meet and agree a treatment plan so once you know that , you can ask advice on what she should eat etc.
It’s a lot to come to terms with. You may find The Friends and Family Group helpful for support
Take care

I was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer and I bought a Nectar mattress, super comfortable and pretty similar to simba mattress. Definitely helps with support x
