During my MIL's chemo treatments, she really enjoyed (or could have used!) a simple comfy robe, cozy socks, slippers, a nice set of noise-canceling headphones, candies, Kindle or iTunes gift card. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-package-for-friend-undergoing-cancer-treatment#post-1981331 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 21:44:40 +0000 butterbean 1981331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: he hasn't told many people about it; otherwise a group gift would be a good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-package-for-friend-undergoing-cancer-treatment#post-1981324 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 21:42:37 +0000 butterbean 1981324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: thanks for the suggestions!!! Like I know what to get him on any other occasion (bday, holiday) but cancer is a whole new level...</p> <p>@kiddosc: love the gift cards and candy suggestions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-package-for-friend-undergoing-cancer-treatment#post-1981318 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 21:41:50 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1981318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry to hear about your friend!</p> <p>If a few people are chipping in maybe a kindle loaded with books? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-package-for-friend-undergoing-cancer-treatment#post-1981278 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 21:24:59 +0000 kiddosc 1981278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Headphones and some books, or puzzle books, or kindle gift card to kill time during chemo. Some hard candies to help battle nausea. Gas cards to get back and forth from doctor appointments. Restaurant gift cards so food is easily available. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-package-for-friend-undergoing-cancer-treatment#post-1981273 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 21:22:45 +0000 Raindrop 1981273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow this is tough... I think you would know your friend best and what he would like... </p> <p>I guess I would put in it...</p> <p>Favorite snacks<br /> Books I think he would like or brain teaser books<br /> Music CDs of songs I think he will like</p> <p>I read that tea, blankets, pain meds (?), tissues, and wipes are good too.</p> <p>I have never made a care package for someone with cancer... I have made them for people in the hospital ... it gets pretty boring waiting to get discharged so I normally just send things that could pass the time. </p> <p>Hopefully this at least bumps this thread for people with more experience! </p> <p>Good luck! I'm sorry your friend is going through this. I wish you and him the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-package-for-friend-undergoing-cancer-treatment#post-1981235 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 21:02:31 +0000 butterbean 1981235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A good friend of ours was recently diagnosed with cancer and we want to put together a care package to help him get through the treatment...</p> <p>Any ideas? </p>
