Lotions, Potions Etc ...

Hi Ladies, I have a friend about to go through chemo and was wondering if you can hit me up with all sorts of lotions, creams, bath soaks etc ... anything that helped you get through please. We would all like to help out and get her some essentials, because, as you all know, it's hard to ask for help and or accept help. So if we can supply some pretties it would be lively and make a huge difference, I just know it. Thankyou All.

It is a lovely idea and I am sure she will appreciate it. xxx
May I suggest you look at the website for Look good feel better program
lgfb.org.au
And print off information to put with your goodies. The program is free.
Take care from Christine
my skin has remained really good and every dr and nurse comments on it
Nice cordial is also good!
@DMaree - what a wonderful idea. Friends and family like you are so appreciated during a bc diagnosis and treatment.
Moo Goo gets my vote as well - great products.
I also found that Bio-oil is a good product - not sure if your friend has any scars but I found that after applying this on my breast and back after the stiches and drain were removed (I had diep flap reconstruction) that now there is a fine grey/white line - not terribly visible at all (not that it would bother me now - they are my battle scars !).
Good old bi-carb soda is an alternative if you can't get hold of Biotene. I used to rinse my mouth with bi-carb dissolved in warm water and gargle with it after each meal/snack. I was fortunate enough to not get any mouth ulcers.
Also, some nice soft cotton or fluffy socks (you can get them from K-Mart or Big W) - even in this warm weather your feet can still feel cold during chemo (strange things can happen).
Wishing you and your friend a wonderful Christmas - what a joy you must be for her & her family.

The nourished life is my go to! So many amazing products with no chemicals. My motto was that there was enough chemicals going into my body I didn't need anymore!
Coconut oil is great for the skin. Especially on the scalp after losing my hair! I also purchased toxin free nail polish and nail polish remover! So much better for you! What a nice thing you are doing for a friend. Wishing you both all the best x
When my skin was really bad especially the nose membranes I used 100% aloe vera gel and it was very soothing. My skin still was getting really dry on the Tamoxifen so I have started using bio magnesium tablets and that has helped a lot so I don't have to keep using skin creams.
