Support after Surgery

Different support will be needed after surgery and this can fall into three categories:-

  • Physical – this can also fall into a number of categories but will normally involve treatment that will help you to get back on your feet.  After brain surgery there may be the need to learn basic actions again whereas with bone cancer there may have been an amputation and there will be the need to learn how to get by either just without the limb or with prosthesis.
  • Emotional – there can be a mixture of relief that the surgery is complete and successful or on the other hand the concern of the result not being as good as was hoped.
  • Practical – there could be the need to take quite a bit of time off work and you may not always receive full pay for the duration of your recovery period.  There will be benefits that can be applied for and the Cancer Research charity can sometimes help out with certain things.

Cancer Research Cancer Surgery Support takes many forms and there is not just the web site to look at.  By calling them there will be the chance to talk to a nurse or get involved in a patients group.  This way there will be the chance to ask all the questions that were forgotten about at the hospital.  Most people who are diagnosed just think about the disease when they are first told.

There are books available on the website and by getting one of these there will be the chance to work through the questions and concerns at your leisure.  They cover a wide range of topics starting with the symptoms to look for and the treatments available.  Cancer Research Cancer Surgery Support can be vitally important at a time when someone is at their lowest.  Cancer Research UK hope to find cures through research and are continually fundraising so if there are people who have been helped by Cancer Research Cancer Surgery Support there are ways that they can give something back when they are on the road to recovery.
