I am only 28 years old but I have had a lot of family members that have fought or are fighting cancer. It’s never something I want to hear, that someone is battling cancer, It’s the worst feeling in the world. I have had a few aunts and other family members diagnosed and I wasn’t as close with them, but it was still hard to hear.
My mother was diagnosed with skin cancer on her arms. She lives in Arizona and just going out on day to day basis can damage your skin. Even sitting in the car with the sun beaming down can be damaging. Luckily it was caught early and they were able to remove it all with surgery. Unfortunately since then her health has declined and has tons of medical problems, and is getting checked for breast cancer regularly.
My grandfather was diagnosed with Cancer and it was devistating for my grandmother who battled breast cancer herself. His body just couldn’t handle it and he got to the point where he was bed rested. He was the only close family member that has passed from Cancer.
My Grandmother was diagnosed with cancer at the worst possible time. She was diagnosed when I was hit by a car, so right after surgery she came to take care of my brothers. She is a survivor though and made it through, but it was very hard to watch her go through it all.
My Aunt In-law has been diagnosed with Thyroid cancer and was doing surgery as well as chemo for a long time. It was hard to watch how much pain she was in.
My Grandmother in-law is currently battling stage 4 colon cancer right now. She also had variety of other problems at the same time, back problems, leg problems etc. The doctors were literally crying watching her walk out of the hospital, her cancer was so massive and diagnosing it as a stage 4, they didn’t think she would make it. She is a miracle.
I received a Giving Comfort kit to review and I will be sending it to my mother, so she can be comfortable while she is fighting all these health conditions. I just love this kit, it comes with a relaxing robe, eye pillow, book, journal, and so much more. It’s the perfect kit to make her feel relaxed and take her mind off of everything for a little while.
This kit is packaged so cute. It all comes in a bag to carry around. The robe is one size fits most, but it’s actually pretty big. I was a little worried it wouldn’t fit the person I am sending it to, but no worries.
Please consider sending one of these kits to a person fighting cancer, it really does bring a smile to their face. Visit Giving Comfort today to find your kit.
