I've had some sad things going on--one of my sisters was just diagnosed with leukemia. She started her chemo over the weekend. She is 57. A very private person, she hasn't told many people.
Doctors expect that she will begin losing her hair in about two weeks. Mention of it upsets her, so we're trying to help her deal with it slowly. In the meantime, I've begun looking for chemo hats and scarves that I can make for her.

If all goes well, she will be finishing up her chemo at about the same time that she turns 58. The most recent news is wonderful: she may not need a bone marrow transplant.
Pinterest has many ideas for helping cancer/chemo patients. From scripture cards to mouth sore relief.
I started out looking for patterns to make some hats or scarves for my sister but found oh-so-much more.
I hope that you have found something useful in this post if you have a cancer patient in your life or if you just have an altruistic heart. Cancer hospitals and chemotherapy clinics are probably always happy to accept some of these for their patients.

It is lovely that you are thinking ahead for your sister. Looks like you have found some great ideas.
