Chemotherapy Gifts

His colleagues have already had a cleaning service. I do not know what is your appettite after chemo for meals and I know she is devastated for several days after treatment. I really want to do something that would be useful not only flowers. Please help me think! She is in her 50.

When you go through cancer and you lose your hair during chemo, it must indeed a heavy toll on how you feel. I would treat her to a day spa. Perhaps a manicure and pedicure. You might give him a little boost to his self-esteem and can do wonders for her as she goes through this difficult period.

Bath and Body Works! If it were me I'd like that! Let him! music too, beautiful music!

be there to cry with laughter with her = = = encourages = continue to cook a meal for her from time to time

Card

When she is alone at home and you know she eats raw soup and bring him his favorite food ... not even cost you a bit .. or go to the pictures in her room with her and her children or you and her ... or if you have a laptop computer bringing her for a day so she can check her .. e-mail or give it the candle she likes and she lights up and a little wine .. Lindt Chocolate always encourage people in place .. Have your kids draw a picture of her. . Planning a visit to the spa when shes done with treatment if it has something to look foward too .. offer choice of grocery place .. or preparing the meal .. paint .. nails and nail


some ideas, I hope I can help

treat her like a princess. Bring her lunch, watching movies with her. If it needs to offer to collect groceries for her and for other errands for her. Rise up early and make coffee for her. Make him a special dessert she loves. Help re-decorate/paint brownie / chocolate chip cookies so a room in her house and fill it with inspiring photos / colors / etc. Take her to see a musical or a play of his choice on a day when she feels up to it. Do things for her that are above and beyond a simple card and flowers, things she will really appreciate.

And my neighbor .... When she told me about his cancer and I went home made a quilt heart in two weeks. I appliqued heart on the seats and used parts floral fabrics. I made sure it can be wrapped around his body and it is big enough to lay on top of a bed.

She was so happy she cried. I called my happiness and love quilt.

I'm not going over too often because it is a private person and when she has her chemo, she sleeps a lot.

I also give her bouquets of flowers casual - small units that can go on his bedside table.

Just be available and if you do not always see her smiling and talking for a while. It's good to accuse anyone with a smile when they are sick.

My neighbor got itself a couple of wigs that look really natural and I commented on how nice she looked the day I saw a bear.

I does not matter how old she is - just like a friend.

Tell them to contact the cancer of America.

Offer to take his place. Go shopping for her, as the post office or bank or pharmacy. Go visit her and let her speak. Ask her directly how you can help. Ask her if she needs someone to talk to, if she has emotional suppport. Sit down and spend time with her, quietly listening.

clean house, do his laundry, shopping search, mowing his lawn. the normal day to day things we take for granted are almost impossible for the person undergoing chemo
