Hi everyone.
My dad will be starting chemo in a few days and I absolutely adore him. He is my hero and I am devastated he is going through this. I really want to help in some small way so I am going to make him a little care package to get him though chemo. I have some thought son what to add...eg. ginger biscuits, nice tea, lip balm etc but I am keen to hear your thoughts. Is there anything that a y of you amazing people have wanted or received when you were going through treatment?
Thank you for your help
Hi Emmie109 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
That sounds like a lovely thing to do for your dad. When I was having chemo it was nice to have something to do while sitting having the treatment, so maybe you could get him a book to read or puzzle book depending on what he likes to do.
As you know, the online community is divided up into different support groups so I'd recommend that you join the group relevant to your dad's cancer to see if there's anything specific that people found useful for that type of cancer,
You could either let me know what type of cancer he has, so that I can give you a direct link to that group, or you could look through this list to find the appropriate group.
Once you've joined you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on reply.
It would be great if you could pop something about your dad's diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

As there are quite a few lymphoma groups, I'll list them below so you can choose the right one for your dad.
