Has anyone had a party or heard of others having one relating to their cancer?

Hi,

I am curious if other people have had or have heard of people having parties relating to their cancer. I am interested to find out what types of parties (for what purpose) and any interesting ideas for things to do at the parties.

I had a head shaving party when I first started my chemo and now I am about to finish chemo and am curious in what ways other people have celebrated. It's for a little project I am working on. So far I have heard of head shaving parties, Cancerveresary parties, and 5 year celebration parties. Has anyone heard of other things?

I think it is so important to have your friends and family around you supporting you and want to know some ways people have celebrated.

Hmmmm

Hi Kim,

I haven't heard of anything but I think my niece and her family
are planning something for me for finishing chemo :).

You might google for some ideas. I just did quickly
and someone suggested an "ugly Christmas sweater" party.
Everyone comes wearing ugly Christmas sweaters.

Good luck!

Hugs and positive thoughts,

Jim
