I'm caring for a loved one who is about to have Resection surgery. How can we prepare for this?

ask the doctor/nurse.. ask TONS of questions, but be sure to ask the doc specific things.dont panic, you'll get through it just fine, but there are no dumb questions,sometimes i feel like i annoy them when i ask, especially if i have to ask 3 or 4 times, (i get brain farts at the worst moments) but ive never had anyone be mad, so thats cool. when you are prepared, you wont be as stressed..
