[quote=Anonymous]Another cancer patient here.

Honestly, OP, in your situation, you don't need to do a thing. If you want to do something, I can tell you that one of the most important things I've learned in this experience is to be merciful and grateful for thoughts that come my way. You have many wonderful suggestions here, from a short note to meal cards, and they are all thoughtful and not likely to be dismissed as an intrusion.

Sure, you want to be respectful of boundaries and that is very important, but if you are talking about a single small act of support, in word or deed, I think that's nice.

Depending on her treatment, eating may be tricky, so something to consider besides meal cards might be a fruit basket (no citrus), or juice. One of the most original gifts I received from a coworker I didn't know very well was a made up six pack of organic juices from WF. Mango, pear, peach...really appreciated because I couldn't really stand solid food at the time.

I won't go on, but I hope this makes sense. A nice card, a small gift, an offer to help your supervisor take off needed time...it's all good, kind, humane, and appreciated.[/quote]
