Present for friend going through Chemo

 

 

My friend has cervical cancer and her chemo and radiotherapy sessions start this week. Myself and a few other friends want to get her a useful gift - something more imaginative than flowers and chocolates. We were hoping to get her items that will prove beneficial throughout her treatment. 

Is there anything (no matter how random or bizarre) that we could include in our parcel. Do things that help with the side effects and things that she can use to help her feel a bit better. Any suggestions most welcome xx

  • Hi 

    My sister found a site called NOT ANOTHER BUNCH OF FLOWERS which is run by a lady who had cancer and set about having some gifts on it that were practical. She got me a special stand for my iPad as I couldn't rest it on my tummy after surgery and it has been a godsend. The site is worth a look xxxx

  • Thanks Roxy for the suggestion of Not Another Bunch of Flowers, what a brilliant site. There are suggestions and brief explanations as to why the gifts are good for people undergoing certain treatments (for those, like me, who have never had experience of them). Better still they deliver internationally so I've just managed to put together some lovely bits for my sister in Australia embarking on a course of chemo. Thank you so much! x
