[MrsElijahMikaelson1]

My friend has just been diagnosed with cancer. In for surgery soon. I want to put a basket of stuff together to assist through the next few weeks, any suggestions beyond some self care/love?

@MrsElijahMikaelson1 - It's rather a matter of personal preferences I'm afraid.

Personally - I couldn't have managed without my Bush DAB Radio - when I couldn't get to sleep - when I woke during the wee small hours - during the to-and-fro and noise of the daylight hours - it was delightful to wear the headphones, close my eyes and relax.

Not the ear buds because they fall out and they don't block the noise of a busy ward.

Not the Handheld Portable one because the recharging socket at the side breaks far too easily (flippin' thing)

I kept the radio and the headphones in three (yes three) firm plastic bags (two were Waitrose bags) which protected and cushioned them in case of a fall from the hospital bed (all too easily done).

Also a 3 pin plug with a USB and a long cable.

I hope this helps - Dan.
