When a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, it’s natural to want to lend your support and show you care. But what can you do? And what will help your loved one as he or she begins cancer treatment?
People undergoing cancer treatment frequently desire a sense of normalcy in their lives. As a result, sending a cancer care package containing their favorite games or books, snacks, or a warm blanket is a great idea.
But, before you put together a care package, ask how they feel to get a sense of whether or not your loved one is ready to receive a personal kit and learn more about the general treatment plan to help you know what kind of items they might require. For example, chemotherapy patients may require activities to keep them occupied during longer treatment sessions than radiation patients.
Once you know that your loved one is ready for a care package, consider keeping these things to make their lives easier.
