Saw this on FB and thought what a great idea as a way for friends and family to get together and support the Oral Cancer Survivor in treatment or about to start treatment:

<<Have you ever thrown anyone A COMFORT SHOWER? "My MIL and SIL threw me a 'comfort shower' to bring together my friends as I am going through chemotherapy and to shower gifts of comfort: magazines, pjs, comfy clothes, books, tea, Anonymous>>

Wish I had thought of this when my son was going through Tx. So many of his friends would ask what he needed and he always hesitated to ask for specific things. At a "Comfort Shower" there could also be a sign-up sheet for specific things needed like a ride to Rad Tx, or picking up prescriptions, laundry duty, etc.
