Hey ladies I need your help. I am three weeks away from graduating rad school. I have come to really enjoy my time with the radiation girls and I want to do something special for them on my graduation day. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Lorrie

    The wonderful bunch that helped me through Rads loved receiving food! I had one of those Edible Arrangements (fruit) sent to them. I noticed they were receiving a lot of "goodies" and thought I would give them something healthy. :-)
    Whatever you decide, I'm sure they will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

    How about a platter of dark chocolate dipped strawberries and a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne or sparkling apple cider?

    home baked goodies ... i.e. cupcakes
    worked for me.. My Oncologist and staff -- continue to thank me to this day .. I have several bake good recipes .. simple 3 step recipes to make any type of frosting .. all of course using 'real' butter and/or cream cheese.

    I also .. gifted photo's/with unique picture frames. If you are crafty you can make personal water bottles --

    Gentle Hugs,

    Bagels and sparkling cider
    I took bagels and sparkling cider for my last day of chemo. Not sure what I will do for Rads. The edible arrangement or a fruit platter may work better for the summer?

    I gae my rads team a small box of chocolates from a well-known vendor in our area. They loved it & had actually received similar gifts from grateful patients.

    I also thought about donating to relay for life in their names, since they all support it, but decided not to, since in seemed less personal.
