Hi, and welcome aboard. Is your tumor 4 mm or 4 cm? 4mm is super tiny and usually would be under a watch and wait surveillance. Recurrences can happen but they're not common, especially for stage 1 cancers, which even 4 cm is. Mine was 7 cm and I was in the hospital just one night. You might want something like a pair of overalls to wear to keep a waistband off your incision. I wore elastic waist pants and used a soft washing sponge (with the suede cover) tucked in my pants for comfort. Good luck!

Hi Laboo the chances of recurrence are small with that size. Walk as soon as you can without overdoing, it helps a lot. Pray for a smooth surgery and quick recovery. Let us know how it went.
