Gift Giving for Breast Cancer Patients and Their Families
Did you know that each year, 182,000 women are
diagnosed with breast cancer and 43,300 die? One woman in eight either
has or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. In addition, 1,600
men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 400 will die this year.
The above statistics are scary to say the least. If you have loved ones
or friends that have been diagnosed with breast cancer, I am sure you've
often wondered what, if anything, you can do to help them.
Here are some gifts that are appropriate for cancer patients, and their
families to give encouragement, and support.
Probably one of the most important gifts you can offer, is the gift of
your time: time to listen, and time to be with them as they accept the
fact that they have cancer, and go through their treatment.
A small journal is another idea: they can put on paper their thoughts,
their struggles, and their accomplishments as they fight this battle.
A book of inspiring, encouraging words will do wonders for their soul.
One suggestion would be Chicken Soup for the Surviving Soul: 101 Stories
of Courage and Inspiration from Those Who Have Survived Cancer.
Don't forget a nice teddy bear they can hug, and a CD of soft,
comforting, music.
Some cancer patients develop sensitivity to fragrance, so please stay
away from scented items.
Again, remember that at times, all they need is to have someone to talk
to, or hold their hand: be there for them!
