I have made several of the pillows that parkermom has pictured and they are well received. One in particular has been passed on so far to 5 women . Each had a mastectomy and after they were finished with it passed it on to someone else who was having one. As for the tote, I like an up lifting verse with some flowers in her favorite colors on navy/Lillian
145789I think that the cancer Ribbon is stigmatizing, especially if she doesn't want to know around she.
4849There are hundreds of Bible verses that give encouragement. I don't know if your friend's daughter is a Christian or not. It may be meaningful to her either way to put an encouraging verse on the tote. I'm leaving you a link to Guideposts collection of verses to encourage cancer patients.

I'm adding my prayers for this young woman and her family. Thank you for loving her enough to do this for her.

It is very sad. She has had 3 months of chemo and now this.
Thank you for commenting.
158553You are so kind to give and think of this friend. She will appreciate any item you give her. Keeping her in my prayers. Suzanna

Pamela's does have some lovely cancer ribbon designs. Thanks for the info. Hugs Lynn
3642Whatever you make for her will be well appreciated. As far as a saying on a tote... gotta google it as there are so many . I would prefer a general saying not too specific. There will be times that she will not want conversations started.
173580Here is one thing that I've made that have been very well received. I used soft fleece, and stuffed it very lightly. The women I've made them for even sleep with them while they're healing. Here's a picture of the general shape, but I made it smaller.
11860Sorry to hear about your daughter, Lynn...I would go with the Navy...and also like other Cuties...perhaps some cheery floral with a pink ribbon...

Kim, it is my friend's daughter, not mine thankfully. Thanks for commenting. I to think the navy is best. Just have to decide what to put on it.
313865Just do her monogram in lovely font. She will treasure it. Kay
85867I would go with the Navy one and do something like a bunch of flowers with a pink ribbon.
Also thought I would mention a friend was in Hospital having Cancer treatment and found the zipper Tissue purse handy as she could hide some money behind the tissues for a newspaper or magazine instead of in a purse.
Remember not all people are honest in Hospitals and you bed can be unattended at times. Sad world we live in.
Hope all goes well for the lady.

Great idea, thanks for commenting. It is a sad world. She has two teenage daughters. Thank you I will post when I get it done..
29723Add a pretty FSL angel and a small stuffed animal to fill the bag. She can hold the stuffed animal when she is in pain or scared or feeling alone.. We bought a stuffed rabbit for my FIL and it helped to calm him after the surgery. Please keep us up to date on how she is doing.

Thank you for your great input. I like your ideas. I will post when I know how she is doing.
168893Sorry to hear that, I hope she will not be in too much pain and that her recovery is quick.
You could ask her mum as she would know. Maybe embroider a spray of flowers tied with a pink ribbon in case it is a little too soon for anything more than that.
13241How about using the navy tote with the pink breast cancer ribbon on it? Maybe you can find a encouraging verse. One one of the pink ones maybe you could embroider a fighting theme.or also encouraging sayings. Looking forward to see what you come up with

I also think the navy ( more practical) and pink embroidery.
Wishing your friend all the very best
