  1. What to Put in a Breast Cancer Care Package When your loved one is diagnosed with breast cancer, it is vital to surround her with love. Offering breast cancer emotional support can profoundly impact your loved one’s emotional, spiritual, and physical health. As such, creating a care package is an excellent way to show your support. Goodies To Include In A Breast Cancer Care Package Although you can’t take away the pain your loved one is experiencing from their breast cancer treatment, some items can help ease the stress and discomfort. Here are some suggestions for what to include in your care package. Water Bottle It is crucial to remain hydrated during breast cancer treatment. Including a cute water bottle or tumbler with matching reusable straws in your breast cancer care package is an excellent way for your loved one to stay hydrated. Likewise, reusable water bottles reduce plastic waste and are great for the environment. Cozy Blanket Hospital rooms can get drafty. Providing your loved one with a cozy blanket will keep her warm during treatment. Likewise, having her own soft, warm blanket can provide a great source of comfort. Books and Magazines Sitting in a treatment room or hospital for hours can make anyone anxious. Including your loved one’s favorite books or magazines can help keep her mind off treatment. Adult coloring books, audiobook subscriptions, and puzzle books are also excellent additions to your breast cancer care package. Lip Balm and Moisturizer Breast cancer treatment can make the skin and lips dry and cracked. Lip balm and body moisturizer can help your loved one soothe her dry skin. Grab scent-free lip balm and moisturizer to avoid irritating the skin further. Snacks It’s hard to go wrong with a tasty snack. Include your loved one’s favorite healthy snacks, such as granola bars, fresh fruit, popcorn, or trail mix. However, throw in a sweet treat, such as dark chocolate, to help lift her spirits.

  2. Handwritten Card Offering words of encouragement is a great way to make anyone’s day. Let your loved one know you are there to provide breast cancer emotional support during her journey with a personalized card. Consider including a funny inside joke, bible verse or prayer, or a heartfelt message depending on her personality.
