Support for chemo

[dementedma]

My dear friend has been waging long war with cancer. Tests this week showed that it’s back and with a vengeance. It’s in her bones now. So back to chemo for her. she is in France and I can’t go and visit and be with her right now - God that hurts!
so I plan to love bomb her with little parcels and cards and things to keep her spirits up.
Any thoughts as to what kind of things would be welcome - bearing in mind they have to be posted.
So far - a jewellery gift which means something special
PG Tips Tea bags - she loves them and can’t get them where she is
Lip balm
Lavender/neroli essential oil?
Something crafty - she likes to sew and make things.
Elizabeth Shaw crispy mints - her favourite

As someone going through similar - warm socks as she is very likely to feel the cold

Chai teabags. Delicious tea with added ginger to help the nausea.

Hand cream and nail oil. I got through lots while I was having chemo. I also liked having a reusable water bottle to take with me to chemo.

I second the socks! And it may be too big, but an electric blanket. I was always frozen. A really nice shower gel and body lotion. A really nice scented candle. Treats basically.

A big fluffy scarf to use as combination pillow and warm snuggly blanket.

A tablet! And earphones! The noise in hospital can be awful and distressing. Watching something nice and blocking out all rather wierd noises was brilliant!

[dementedma]

Great suggestions all. Many thanks

I second warm soft clothing, plus something for nausea e.g. ginger biscuits and ginger tea?
