SIL with cancer

Hi

My lovely sister in law has been diagnosed with breast cancer. They have apparently caught it early and it's very treatable which I absolutely hope will be the case. They live in the States which is really hard as we can't give any practical support so I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how we can support from afar, texts, phone calls to my brother in case she's unwell during treatment, any sort of practical things we could send to let her know were thinking of her. We're all so worried about her as she's been in our lives for thirty years and is like a sibling herself since day one.

Sorry for rambling.

So sorry that your sister in law has breast cancer. My DM had it and found that she really appreciated a soft blanket someone got for her, she really felt the cold when she had chemo and it also meant she had something from home.

Whilst she may not always feel up to talking, little written notes, cards or texts about amusing incidents will go down well.

Perhaps you can send her a parcel of goodies that she can't get in the States like decent chocolate or favourite tea bags.
