[quote=Anonymous]I had a mastectomy several years ago and appreciated the Meal Train deliveries but 2-3x per week was more than enough.  It was great for my husband and kids so that I didn't have to worry about what or if everyone was eating.  It was especially helpful for the rest of the family during chemo because cooking was the last thing on my mind while exhausted and feeling crappy.

One good suggestion is to have a cooler out front or back where people can drop off the food if the patient is home alone and not up for the visitors.

Also, another idea--one person dropped off a very small cactus, which I still have, in addition to dinner and that was just so cute to see.  It was teeny but it definitely picked up my spirits.

Lastly, I was up and around after two weeks post-surgery, but not everyone is.  I actually called people who were at the end of the meal train list and told them not to bother (very nicely, of course) because I felt badly that I was pretty mobile by then and didn't want to add to someone's list of chores with cooking or preparing food for my family.

I hope your friend's recovery and treatment go as smoothly as mine did.[/quote]
