[quote=Anonymous]I went through chemo treatments a couple of years ago, and friends like you are what helped my family through it - believe it or not, lots of people unintentionally stay away, I think they are worries cancer (or bad luck) are contagious :-). My suggestions are (1) make sure the meal deliveries are spaced out because we were kindly brought lots of food but it was too much and we had nowhere to store it and it wound up being a stressor for me, and (2) focus on healthy, family-friendly meals, and don't worry too much about pleasing the patient, as who knows what she will be in the mood for or able to eat (eg, I had terrible mouth sores for weeks so really only ate soups and smoothies then) - it is a huge help when you are sick to know that your kids are still eating healthy, complete meals. If this is a good friend of yours, you could always text her before a visit and ask if there is some special treat you can bring her like a muffin or latte or whatever. [/quote]
