After surgery care

Hi there 

I'm just looking for some tips and recommendations. My partner is due to have 1 testicle removed in a week or so and I wondered if there was anything that people would recommend for the recovery? Like was there something that made you more comfortable, I'm thinking like those cushions to sit on etc? Anything at all I'd be very grateful for the suggestions.

  • Hello Emboly

    I'm sorry to hear that your partner is due to have surgery next week. It's understandable that you may be feeling worried and want to make sure that he is as comfortable and supported as possible when he comes home. 

    We do have some information on our website here which you may find helpful but I'm also going to tag in [@Josh_hereforyou]‍ who I know has been through treatment for testicular cancer. Hopefully, he will see this reply and pop along to share any tips and advice he has to help your partner recover. 

    If you want to chat with our nurses at any point you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm (excluding bank holidays). 

    I hope all goes well next week. 

    Best wishes,
