My best friend is having chemo for breast cancer, with covid I can't see her. I've been sending things to her, lip balm, ice pops, rude colouring books to keep her entertained. The last round has made her really poorly and I want to send her things that would really help her. She found the ice pops and lip balm helpful, are there any other essentials that she would find helpful, useful, comforting??? Feeling so helpless. Thank you
Hi Flamingo and welcome to our community though sorry to hear about your friend.
Knowing you care is perhaps the single most important thing you can do, even a simple text message sometimes helps and the idea of a rude colouring book makes me smile, I have found doing some colouring and also jigsaws great for helping me to relax.
If you look at the Breast cancer forum there are bound to be lots of suggestions though one I have heard fairly regularly is ginger sweets as apparently they can help counter what is a fairly common metal taste in the mouth after chemotherapy.
