Friend with Cancer

I have a friend/co-worker who has breast cancer and is going to have surgery later this month. I would like to put together a basket of goodies to send to her. I don't want to do just chocolate and cookies but some stuff she will need or would like to have while going through chemo also. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have thought of books and stuff but I am sure there are some things she will need and didn't think of.

Preparing a 4Yr Old for Chemo

My 4yr old baby girl just got diagnosed with a very rare form of Sarcoma called Undifferentiated Embryonal Sarcoma. Of course we're supposed to start chemo asap but keep wondering about alternative medicines. She was not sick going into this and has bounced back wonderfully from the surgery to remove the very large, very aggressive tumor that was attached to her liver. The surgeon was able to remove the whole tumor which was excellent news since he wasn't sure mid-surgery if he would be able to. He did not visually see it attached to any...

How Do You Explain Breast Cancer to Young Children?

My MIL may have breast cancer. They have found three lumps in her right breast, and they will be doing a biopsy on each lump to see if it is cancer or not. Her mother had cancer in both breasts, so it is very likely that she has cancer. Her doctor did not seem to have a good outlook on it either. My girls are 10, 5, and 3, and I really do not know how to explain this to them. Breast cancer does not run in my family so I do not know much about it. Any advice you ladies could give me would be great! Update: I'm not planning on telling them...
