So Dear Melanoma Facebook Page went off last night. I felt
like I was back to the evening when we had a mighty fine conversation about the
stupid things people like to tell someone who has cancer – what a hilarious
night it was! Last night I asked the Dear Melanoma community what they think
should be in a ‘care package’ for people with cancer.
How did this come about? Well, as many of you know I work
one day a week at a fab little gift shop in Brisbane. I often have people come
in to work and ask for advice on what to give a friend that is sick and I
normally just point them in the right direction and make some suggestions – I
often will not tell them my personal situation. However, on Monday a lady came
in and asked for help – she wanted to put a care package together for a friend
who was about to start chemo. She was at a complete loss of how to support her
friend and this was the perfect thing to show her love and support.
