What would you have wanted in the beginning of your cancer journey?
Someone who's very close to me has gotten diagnosed with stage three cancer after having a tumor removed from her stomach. I know in situations like this, like when you lose someone you love words don't do the trick. It's hard to receive comfort from those who don't understand.
My question to those who have gone through chemotherapy, what would you have wanted somebody would have given you or done ? What is something that someone did that touched you specifically and made the journey a little bit easier?
So far I'm hand crocheting a blanket for her so when she gets cold she has something on her lap. I'm also going to sew a small pillow that she can take with her to help make her more comfortable. (My mom did that for my grandma). I'm thinking of writing 12 notes one for each treatment she has that she can open to help give her some words of encouragement.
What else can you think of? I really want to make a big impact on her and I want to make sure she knows she's not alone.
