You just found out that a close friend or loved one has been diagnosed with Cancer
You are stunned by the news and want to send a gift to show your support. Unless you have had a close experience with the disease, it can be difficult to pick the right gift to send. Surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation have a lot of side effects and physical reactions that make it extra difficult to pick the right gift.
Did you know that cancer patients often suffer nausea, or that sending flowers is a big no-no? Also, no candies or sweets and no products with strong scents.
Wondering what to send someone with cancer? Here are some ideas on what to add to your cart and send as a care package. Don’t forget to write a letter to go along with your package.
