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.

Good ideas. Thank you

Thank you. Great ideas

Oh Holland and BarretT sell ginger chews .
I loved them when I was having chemo .

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.

Thank you

Not another bunch of flowers have a chemo gift section. May give you some nice ideas if you didn't want to buy from them. I heatd good things about them.

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!

Great suggestions all. Many thanks

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