Cancer Patient Care Packages
Not only does cancer itself cause many symptoms, but the treatments do as well. Medications, procedures, and treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy can cause ailments such as hair loss, nausea, dry eyes, skin conditions, dry mouth, and susceptibility to infection. Jaime’s Lilac Foundation distributes care packages that are designed to mitigate these side effects and help pass the time during cancer treatments.
We design different patient care packages for men, women, and children; tailoring the included items to help with the specific challenges each face.
