Hello BVK and thanks for your post,

I am sorry to hear about your husband's situation. As we are not involved in your husband's care and his symptoms are very individual to him do encourage your husband to discuss this with his team.

Seromas are common after major surgery and they are  often reabsorbed but in some cases they need to be drained. They can occur several times particularly if there has been major surgery. I can't say how long this will go on in your husband's case but do discuss this with his team. 

I would also discuss the nerve pain with his team. I can't say whether it is connected to his surgery but it might be. 

The retching and not eating proper meals are probably all connected to his recent surgery and his infection. Hopefully with anti sickness drugs this should help. We have some information on our website about tips when diet is a problem

You may find it more helpful to give the cancer information nurses a ring to go through any of this.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

All the best,

Catherine
