Big meeting and results

Hi Annousks

Am glad you have got a lovely oncologist. It does make a difference. Good news that they believe it is stage 1. 

How lovely that you have your Granddaughter's wedding to look forward to. Looking back to my experience- I would have felt able to attend a wedding- with some rest breaks and somewhere quiet to sit if needed. I felt comfortable walking to my local shops within a few days of being home with someone to help carry any bags. 

Fingers crossed it will be done and you will be home recovering by the time of the wedding.

Hi Annousks

So pleased you now know what you’re dealing with, as you say the waiting is awful. Hope you get a date for the op soon, and you are able to get to granddaughters wedding. Xx

Waiting is so tough. I found some preparations for coming out of hospital helped and there are lots of great hints and tips on this forum that made a difference to me. Great you have a  wedding to provide some diversion in the meantime. 

Thank you Jane, that's good to know. I'd hate to miss her wedding.  I'm now going to get everything ready hopefully for the op, my hospital bag, meals in freezer, house etc. I'm not quite sure what I'll need in hospital if you've any advice. Would for example a nightshift be vetter tha  pjs for my tummy? 

Thank you so much, I'd hate to miss her big day. Fingers xd girls 

Thank you, I was thinking about prep, hospital bag, and being prepared with meals etc. I'll certainly have a look as I'm not quite sure where to start. A dress for the wedding is a puzzle as it'll have to be comfy for my tummy incase I have had my op 

Have a look at this link re what to pack:

Annousks, did you tell your consultant or CNS about your granddaughter’s wedding date? If not, I’d suggest you do as that they might be able to schedule it around it. “About 6 weeks” in my mind means possibly 7-8 weeks so, if it’s really important to you I’d suggest telling them now. When I was given my date, my consultant asked me first in person if it was convenient for me but I don’t think many hospitals do that.

Hi MarmiteFan59, I did, he was so nice, he got his calendar out and counted the weeks, I'm sure he wrote the day down saying "oh you can't miss the wedding" I'll tell my CNS about it too tho. Thanks for that and also the link above 

Hi Annousks 

I was lucky they said at least 6 weeks and the day after I had a call and went in the following week. Hopefully that will happen to you you can’t miss the wedding! Nightdress definitely over pyjamas much easier for your catheter. Mine was in for 3 days so a nightie was easy.
