Hi all
my good friend is about to have a breast lumpectomy and radiotherapy. I want to get her some practical gifts. I’ve had colon cancer with surgery and chemo so have some good ideas but would like to hear from anyone that’s been through what she will be going through about your ‘must haves’. Also do you receive something like diprobase for the skin or will she need to buy herself (something I can get for her)?
thanks in advance x
Hi Snarfy …. great that you are looking to help out your friend.
As you wait for any replies…… you may want to also join our dedicated Breast cancer support group and put up the same post in the group as you will connect directly with folks who have been through treatment or family and friends who support folks on their journey.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
