What can I send my friend starting chemo tomorrow?

Hi lovelies, 

My friend starts 6 lots of chemo tomorrow. I only had rads so I’m not sure what I could send her that might help a little?  She lives miles away from me so I just want her to know I’m thinking of her. Many thanks in advance for any tips.

Hi MandR,

lovely idea. Just knowing someone is thinking of us always helps! Try any of the following - dark nail varnish/ cuticle oil,lip salve, skin moisturiser(Aveeno is good),puzzle book & pen,easy read book,pretty scarf(square is duel purpose neck or head). Hope that helps.xx

Lovely idea:

Ginger tea / biscuits / Sina Original ginger chews (for nausea)

Definitely moisturiser and hand cream avoid strong smells

Amazon, Not another bunch of flowers and cancer care parcel also have gift sets online if you search chemotherapy gifts. 

 

I thought they were all a bit expensive online for the amount f stuff in them, so I looked at what sort of things were in them, then went to the high street so I could personalise what I bought, when my friend needed chemo a couple of years ago.

 

Wilko and the range sell empty baskets to make up and places like card factory sell different sizes of gift boxes.
