Not being able to sleep at night, especially after an operation, can be very difficult so I completely understand your frustration.

Have you spoken to your medical team or GP about this? If not maybe you could have a chat with them and see if they can offer any advice? Our cancer nurses may be able to help as well. If you want to chat to them their number is 0808 800 4040, which is free to call from a UK landline, and are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

There are a few members on the forum who have also had this operation and hopefully they will pop by soon to share their experiences and advice.

Kind Regards,
