'Got You Covered' Chemo Care Buddy Box

Overview

From my own experience I know that going through chemotherapy can be emotionally and physically draining — for both the person in treatment and the loved ones who care about them. Our chemo care packages are thoughtfully curated to bring warmth, comfort and encouragement during this difficult journey. Each package is designed to ease side effects, soothe sensitive skin, and offer small moments of joy — from soft blankets to gentle skincare.

The 'Got You Covered' Chemo Care Buddy Box' has everything you need to keep you comfortable during your Chemo sessions with;
