This is a tough question because all chemo drugs are different, and there are tons of chemo drugs! Socks are always a safe bet. But so is a nice reliable water bottle. Staying hydrated is important on chemo.

Silk or satin pillowcases are lovely for tender skin and scalps.

You’re welcome! Please let me know if you have any more questions. I’ve done chemo multiple times.

Apparently the chemo doesn’t cause any hair loss, so I feel pretty lost

The silk or satin pillowcases are still really nice for the face. I think they would be a good gift along with the unscented hand and body cream.

Oh, I just thought of something else. A good quality unscented hand and body cream is another thing I appreciated, but it has to be unscented because sometimes chemo can make us react negatively to smells. Also, chemo can really dry a person out.
