What Gifts Can Help Your Friend with Cancer?
When someone receives a cancer diagnosis, their friends and neighbors often immediately spring into action.
- What can we do?
- How can we help?
- What can we send?
These are often the first words out of someone’s mouth when they find out a person they care about has cancer. Close friends and family might help with meals, childcare, grocery shopping, carpooling, chores, or drive the patient to and from chemo or radiation.
But what about everyone else? The urge to help is strong when someone you know becomes sick and needs cancer treatments. How can community members, co-workers, or people out of town lend their support and assistance?
Sending gifts is an excellent way to let someone know you are thinking of them. At Rock the Treatment, our cancer gift baskets can do even more.
Our chemo gift baskets and radiation gift baskets contain items specially selected to help cancer patients feel better- physically and emotionally. Our cancer gift packages contain useful items proven to ease things like anxiety, nausea, dry skin, and even stress.
