The best gift from a
great friend!
I hope this company makes more kits like these. I have the recovery one. Just so useful. There are too many things in it. I haven't even used everything yet. Thank you!!
Carol D.
Thank you for being there.
I did research on what you can do to help people that are suffering from cancer and this showed up.
Sara S.
Thank you!
Without my sister giving me this gift I don't know how I would deal with these appointments. It's so easy to grab my bag and go to each appointment ready.

KIT CONTENTS
FOCUSED ON SIDE-EFFECT RELIEF AND COMFORT
NAUSEA RELIEF AIDS
SEA BANDS
Cloth-elastic-wrist-band with a bead-like hard object embedded in the bracelet. Applies pressure to the Nei Kuan acupressure point soothing/preventing nausea and vomiting.
CHIMES GINGER CHEWS
A yummy (despite chemo taste changes) nausea soothing and preventing treat. Everybody recommends these tasty vibrant treats. GF, V, Non GMO.
ORGANIC EUROPEAN PEPPERMINT TEA
Hot and comforting, peppermint is widely used for nausea management throughout the ages. It is known for soothing upset stomachs and vomiting. Also said to cool the body from the inside-out. We chose Buddha Teas for their non-bleached bags and Organic teas.
HOT OATMEAL
This is a simple meal when regular food is too difficult. We included these non-flavored oatmeal packets in our backup kits as a timely reprieve should cooking, taste change, scents or digestion become difficult. Oatmeal is low scent, easy to prepare, simple to digest and a source of great nutrition.
UN-SCENTED: SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER, SOAP
Many cancer and chemo patients develop extreme sensitivities to scents, perfumes, cooking smells and flower/plant aromas. We included these travel-sized tools in our packages as a timely reprieve should scent sensitivity flare up.
NON-METAL CUTLERY
Many chemo patients complain of a metallic taste that can ruin many flavors. The term is 'Metal-mouth'. The aftercare kit includes a set of re-usable non-metal cutlery that are easy to wash, which helps reduce plastic waste from disposable cutlery.
NIGHT LIGHT
Nausea can hit at night and there is not much time to rush to the bathroom or some nights sleeping is difficult. This LED turns off when ambient light is strong and turns on when the room is dark. A safe, simple but effective way of lighting a path in the dark when you don't want to wake up family.
REST BETTER
EAR PLUGS
Silence the world around you and rest at any-time/any-where during the day with these high-quality ear plugs. We chose the 3M earplugs because of the quality of the foam and string. These are used in industrial settings but are very comfortable.
EYE MASK
Recovering well requires sleep and rest. Block the light and get some much needed rest with this comfortable eye mask.
ORGANIC CHAMOMILE TEA
From natural sleeping aid to calming nerves and stomach, it has been used for centuries. Also recommended to be used as a mouth rinse which helps relieve mouth sores. Organic and the bags are unbleached.
BATH SALTS
Soothe your irritated skin, calm the nerves and ready yourself for a good nights rest with these bath salts. Epsom salts have been used for treating aches and pains for generations.
RE-HYDRATION
UN-SCENTED LOTION
It took a while to find a basic, great value cream that absorbs well, is not oily feeling, lasts on the skin and does not trigger nausea due to scent-sensitivity. The TRUE line is sold by a fellow Canadian, Calgary based company that we are happy to work with.
CUTICLE OIL
Nails and cuticles can be severely damaged by chemo treatments. Keep your nails stronger and healthier with this portable cuticle oil.
LIP BALM
Heavy duty lip balm. Does a great job not feeling oily and keeping lips hydrated.
FLEXIBLE STRAWS
Flexible straws are a convenient way to encourage sipping when you have difficulty moving. We prefer reusable versions but those require special cleaning process (which is risky when the immune system is compromised).
ENTERTAINMENT
ACTIVITY PUZZLE BOOK
A simple and challenging way to keep the mind engaged. Helps to exercise the chemo brain away. Over 240 puzzles per book. A good distraction to chase the stress away.
EXTENSION CORD
When mobility is an issue for various reasons like energy loss, nausea or pain, sometimes the electric things you want to use are just too far from the plug in the wall. Another support tool to help keep in touch with loved-ones and facilitate distraction. 1.2M , 4FT cord with 3 plugs.
COMFORTS
MAGIC SCARF
A cozy soft head covering helps prevent some of the heat release and keeps you warmer. Patients recommended this type of hat for its soft flexibility during hair changes and its versatility in that it can be used as a neck-warmer, a bandana, a full cap and other possibilities. Instructions on the many ways to use the scarf are in each kit.
ORAL CARE
PUR XYLITOL PEPPERMINTS
The Benefits of Xylitol are many. The benefits of peppermint, a cherry on the top. Where to start... Xylitol is a natural sugar-alcohol (diabetics can have these mints!). This prevents oral bacteria from being able to digest it which starves and kills off the bacteria. This brings the pH (the acidity level) of the mouth to a more neutral environment helping to prevent cavities (which are caused by acidity). Xylitol also increases saliva flow which helps with dry-mouth and exposes the teeth to healing minerals helping the mouth to naturally prevent and re-calcify current potential cavities. You will notice that your teeth feel smoother after enjoying a mint. Xylitol is recommended by Hygienists and Dentists. Peppermint, on the other hand, naturally slows the digestion down which soothes the stomach when upset, calms nausea and cools the body internally.
FLOSS PICKS
We chose floss picks instead of floss string for hygienic reasons and for ease of use. The mouth exaggerates its current health state while going through chemo treatments and radiation. Difficulties in the mouth are a heavy strain on the already taxed immune system.
TOOTHETTES
Chemo and radiation can affect oral tissues and cause sensitivity and mouth sores. Toothettes are a softer/gentler alternative to a toothbrush, helping to brush the teeth when strong sensitivities arise.
PREVENTING INFECTION
FACE MASKS
Chemo compromises the immune system making it more difficult to fend off viruses and bacterial infections. It is very important to have friends and family spend time and support the chemo patient to raise spirits. Wearing masks is a safe way to spend more time together.
STAY ORGANIZED
JOURNAL
Stay organized or write your thoughts down.
PEN
The simple things are important when moving is difficult.
KLEENEX
Accessible Tissue Paper.
CHEMO AFTERCARE KIT
Make recovery relief more convenient. Back-up-ready when nausea and side-effects hit, and running around is too difficult. Better prepared in an all-in-1 kit.
