Care Gift Items

These items are samples items from www.cancer.com and other support groups for Cancer Treated patients.  

 

There are a few things that make up a nice chemo care package, Chali's favorite color Purple and/or Pink.

  • Baby shampoo 

  • really soft toothbrush 

  • Non-Alcohol mouth rinse (brands- Tom's of maine, Biotene or colgate) 

  • Baby Wipes 

  • Soft washcloth and hand towels (just for her to use) 

  • A nice comfy pair of slippers ( especially during the Taxol treatment) 

  • A soft fleece hat,(it will keep her warm when she's sleeping!) 

  • Soft Tissues  (constant runny nose) 

  • Sunglasses 

  • Some cool hats 

  • Gift Cards (Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Etc...)

  • Gift Cards (Food, fast food for days she don't feel like cooking)

  • Gas Cards (Shell, Exxon, Mobil, Etc...)

  • Warm Blanket or Throw Blanket

  • MP3 Music Player (during Treatment)

     

A cozy throw from home would be good...those infusion rooms are cold!  My onc. had warmed blankets, but I just felt better cozying up with something I used at home.  Also, an ipod or something to listen to some soothing music.  My chemo group was pretty loud and boisterous, so I didn't used mine much, but there were some who just wanted to sleep the hours away, so that might be of some help to her.  Does she have someone bringing her to and from chemo?  I was feeling well enough to drive while doing Taxol, but when doing a/c I had someone drive me.  My husband tried to do it when he could, but he had a schedule of friends that helped out too. 

You might want to avoid food. She may have dietary restrictions you're not aware of, or may develop aversions to some foods during treatment.

A small blanket would be good. Something big enough to cover her lap but small enough to be able to bring with her to chemo sessions if she gets cold. A blank journal and nice pen, a light-hearted book (anything heavy might be difficult while undergoing chemo), gift cards- gas cards, especially, for the traveling to and from the hospital. I'd avoid any scented lotions or candles, as she may become more sensitive to scents.

A type of carrying bag to carry things back and forth from her treatments

5 Incredibly Useful Care Package Ideas for Cancer Patients

Lotions and Lipbalms;
Skin is one of the major things affected by chemotherapy and radiation. My skin has been so dry at times it’s actually split open. If you’re a regular couponer you probably already have a stash of freebies you can pass on. (You probably also have a huge stash of free shampoo and conditioner but unless the person has expressed interest in these avoid them as hair can be a very, very sensitive issue.)

Food;
It may be hard for your friend to get out and grocery shop or they might not have any interest in cooking or even eating. Consider easy to prepare and eat non-perishables like granola bars, cereal, pasta and sauce, and soup. Fiber rich foods and yogurt help with digestive tract issues. Minty gum, candy, and tea help settle upset stomachs. And chocolate is always great for a mood boost.

Tissues and Wipes;
Full size or travel packs will be appreciated. My nose has now been running for almost 6 months straight and my face would be raw were it not for several boxes of Kleenex and Puffs with lotion. I’ll be the first to admit that wet wipes are not very green at all and before the cancer I never understood why anyone would use them, but when your entire digestive tract is raw from entry to exit and toilet paper feels like steel wool, an aloe wipe can be extremely soothing.

Comfortable Clothes;
Pajamas, work out wear, t-shirts, and sweats are almost all I wear these days and having plenty of extras is really helpful on those days I’m too dizzy to even walk to the washing machine in the garage. Look especially for items without any metal whatsoever: xrays, CT, and PET scans are a lot less stressful when you don’t have to change into those breezy hospital gowns.

Entertainment;
While it may seem awesome to have unlimited free time, it actually really sucks to be on disability leave. You’ve got 8 more hours every day for weeks or months and no idea what to do with all that time. Books, magazines, movies, music, and video games are a life saver when it comes to filling time. Even if you just pass on a pile of magazine back issues or lend a book or DVD you think the person would like it’ll be appreciated.

And of course don’t forget personal contact. Emails, texts, and phone calls to check on how things are going or catch up with an old friend are awesome. I even appreciate Facebook messages from those people I barely knew back in high school.

If you’re particularly close, let your friend or family member know what your availability is and go to an appointment or treatment with them. With as many as seven appointments a week (and I’m sure there are some people who have even more than me), the doctor’s office can get pretty dreadful.
