Show Your Support

In 2014, 232,030 cases of invasive breast cancer were diagnosed in the U.S. alone.  That means about 1 in 8 women have breast cancer.  Chances are you know someone who has been diagnosed.  Having breast cancer is not a death sentence and there are many treatments, commonly chemotherapy, to help treat breast cancer.  Chemo can be a daunting treatment with many side effects.  The best thing you can do for your loved one is be supportive.  A Chemo Survival Kit is the perfect way to show your support!  Here’s what you need:

1.    A Reusable Carry Bag.  This is an easy place to store all items for your chemo kit and easily transported to             and from appointments.

2.    Canker Sore Gel.  Canker sores are an irritating side effect, there are many gels on the market to treat these        sores.

3.   Hypoallergenic Body Lotion.  Dry skin can occur after treatments so       a good lotion is needed.  Stay away from perfumed lotions, they can       irritate the skin.  Arbonne Body Gelee has a cooling sensation as well.


4.    Lip Balm.  Skin isn’t the only thing that can be dry, lips can get n              chapped as well.


5.    Water Bottle.  It is important for patients to stay hydrated before            and after the treatment, a cute water bottle will assure they always        have a drink near by.

6.    Peppermint Candles or Oil.  Aside from smelling amazing, peppermint is soothing and can help                comfort nausea which can occur after treatment...you could also use peppermint essential oil.  I like        Aromappeal Organic Peppermint Oil.


7.    Large mug.  A mug for soup or tea after treatment, especially ginger tea...it fights nausea.

7.    Popsicles.  Dry mouth often occurs during treatment, a refreshing popsicle          could do just the trick….I love Strawberry Dole Pops!


8.    Robe, Shawl or Small Blanket.  Patients can feel exposed (or chilly) while             getting treatment.  Something that can be draped over shoulder can help           keep warm and cover up.  I love this shawl...and it looks cute too!


9.    Head Scarf or Hat.  Some patients will go through hair loss a head scarf or          hat can be their best accessory.

10.    Book, Magazine or Cards.  Chances are patients will be sitting for a while during treatment...what does your friend or family member like to do?  Any one of these things can help pass the time.


 11.    Motivation.  There are times when patients are going to feel a little down and sick.  Something motivational can be just the thing to jump start positivity.  Try a Not an Option Tank!

Whatever you decide to put in your Chemo Kit your friend or family member will love and appreciate it because they know you are there to support them!
