Hello everyone,
A co-workers wife has been diagnosised with breast cancer that has spread to her lymphnodes. She will be starting Chemotherapy this week. Here is my question. I feel like I really want to do something nice for her. I make herbal eye pillows scented with lavendar, chamomile etc. As well as lotions and lip balms. Do you think that this is a good gift for her, my goal is to give her something that will help her relax for even a brief moment. I was thinking maybe some peppermint or ginger tea to help with Nausea. And maybe a cd with some relaxing music. I am just looking for some input on wether this would be a good idea. Or is there something else I can make or buy that would be a personal gift to help her thru this very difficult and emotional time?
Any input anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Eliahn,
Will you be my friend?!
You sound like a lovely,kind,caring person and your friend is very lucky to have you.
I think what you have suggested sounds wonderful and I would have loved to have been given presents like those when I was going through chemo.

What a lovely thought. All of the above would have been very welcome for me, I’m sure your friend will be very touched.
all your ideas sound lovely and I’m sure they will be appreciated! x
Thank you all for your kind words. I sent my gift bag for her home with my co-worker the day before her chemo. He said that she really enjoyed it and that the tea helped her. And the eye pillow helped her get some sleep. The lotion and lip balm she said she just loved. So, I am just so happy that I was able to give her some joy. I wish I had the means to make some for all of you who were so kind. I would send my lil care packages out to each and every one of you. Thank you again. God Bless
