My Mom needed button down shirts as it was hard to get a shirt over her head after surgery. We bought her button down pjs as well as casual shirts to wear during the day.
My friend who lives in New Orleans underwent breast cancer surgery last week. I wanted to send her something more personal than just flowers. Any ideas what I could send her? Thanks.

you could send her a gift certificate for a cleaning service in her area. Since she won't be able to move around much, she might appreciate someone helping her out with cleaning. You could send her a gift certificate for a manicure/pedicure for a pick me up. Just a few thoughts.
I really like Julie's idea regarding the button down shirts. I never realized that was an issue until one of my friends who also had the surgery discussed it. How kind of you to want to do something special!

There's a book out there called - "Dear God, They say its Cancer" I have heard it's a great book. It has some journal spots in it - but really is for the woman going through it.
Good luck.....this will be something she will face forever....not just today. I have 2 recovering friends that I am close to....it's tough some days....
I found a framed piece of work at Family Christian Stores in Plano that says "What Cancer is Not" and incorporates a scripture in a creative way. It has a yellow flower on it (there is another one with the traditional pink ribbon on it, but I like this one MUCH better). It was $30 and my step mom really was touched and found a place for it before I left so that she could see it throughout the day to encourage her.
