Flowers, plants, fruits (like edible arrangements fruit baskets), (some) scented beauty products, and perfumes are bad choices for cancer patients. Flowers and plants can carry bacteria and fungal spores, making them a bad choice for a gift. Cancer patients who have been through chemo or radiation are also often sensitive to strong smells, making strong-smelling beauty products or perfumes a bad choice.
If you’re interested in more details, our recent blog post, The 7 Worst Gifts For Cancer Patients, covers this more in-depth and explains the reasons behind some of the products we choose for our care packages.
Common side effects include nausea, fatigue, hair loss, skin sensitivity, mouth sores, a weakened immune system, cognitive changes, nerve damage, loss of appetite, or changes in taste.
Considering all these sensitivities, the products in our chemotherapy and radiation treatment care packages are carefully selected.
Emotional “common” side effects are not so commonly obvious until you are diagnosed. Feeling defeated, isolated, depressed, and the list goes on. We’re all human, and one of the best gifts we can receive is love, encouragement, and support from our loved ones. Knowing that people care, are thinking of us, and are rooting for us. People diagnosed or living with cancer need that more than ever. Encourage them to Rock Their Treatment!
While thoughtful and supportive, it’s essential to consider the individual’s specific health condition and any dietary or skincare restrictions they may have. Avoid strongly scented items or products that might interfere with treatment. In addition, hospitals and cancer treatment centers may have restrictions on the types of gifts they’ll accept into their facilities. It’s wise to consult with the patient or their caregivers, and of course, when in doubt, check with the healthcare team.
Our cancer care packages are thoughtfully packaged and shipped in delightful but neat boxes. They contain all the goodies that will encourage them to Rock Their Treatment without interfering with it.
