Hi all
just joined today .My sister had been diagnosed with stage 4 overian cancer and is in her second lot of chemotherapy. I have no idea what to get her for Xmas , material things seem so irrelevant right now , any ideas? She’s not eating much can’t concentrate on reading tv etc . Her stomach is bloated even after being drained so I can’t even get her pjs ! Sorry if it sounds all negative I’m just at a total loss . Also finding it really hard to know what too say . Xx
Dear mum of 21, have you considered going to your local crafting shop and making a gift yourself. They have wooden boxes of different sizes that you can decorate in any way you want, you could fill it with little gifts of perfume or perhaps a item of jewellery. You will find lots of inspiration there and I’m sure your sister would be touched you made it yourself.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
