What items make you feel better?
Thinking about your treatments and side effects, physically, mentally, etc.
What type of items could someone give you to help make you more comfortable.
Example: I had dry mouth and nausea - fruit flavored hard candy helped. Reading helped me pass the time during chemo and transfusions.
Your feedback is appreciated. No idea is too small to list.

Time outside always helped. Even just sitting on a bench in the park across from the treatment center in the sun was therapeutic. A nice walk on the beach could brighten any day.0 -
