Double mastectomy....a man’s perspective/lessons?

[thewharftrader]

So...my wife is having an elective double mastectomy in a couple of weeks (stupid cancer gene that she unfortunately has...).

I have read plenty on the internet, wife has tried to explain what is coming my way but would still like to find a couple of people to talk to from a husband/partner’s point of view of what I need to step up and do.

I will obviously be “there” for her but equally, I want to be fully prepared for what is needed / wanted from the better half in this situation. Eg. Practical tips, things to have beforehand (just learned she has to sleep upright so should I buy a special pillow?!

If anyone has been through this situation, please DM me, would love to chat to someone who has been through it and give their first hand experience.

Much appreciated in advance.
