Hello kgower and welcome to Cancer Chat.

I'm very sorry to hear your friend has been diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer. This must be a very difficult time for her, but I'm sure she will feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends in her life who have taken the time to give her such a loving and caring gift to help her through chemo.

I'm sure some of our members will share what helped them when they had chemo and offer their suggestions to you soon, but in the meantime you're very welcome to get some inspiration from the Cancer Care Collection on the CRUK shop. You may find some of the items listed on the Cancer Support UK website to be useful as well.

If you'd like to have a quick chat about this with one of our cancer nurses about this, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're really easy to talk to and I'm sure with their knowledge and insight, they will also be able to offer some ideas.

We're sending your friend all our support kgower, and wishing her the best of luck with the start of her chemo next week.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
