Welcome to Chemogiftbags
We are dedicated to helping ladies and gents who are currently undergoing a diagnosis for breast cancer and having chemotherapy. We supply gift bags that can help them through their treatment. We hope that by providing these care packages we will bring a little light to what is a daunting time. If we can bring a smile to those who receive our Chemogiftbags then our mission is achieved.
We haven't stopped!
Adhering to Govt guidelines we are still providing our amazing CHEMOGIFTBAGS to breast cancer patients having chemo therapy in the Thames Valley Area.
And there are many ways you can still support us too, by:

Your hair can be prone to fall out whilst having treatment so if you are trying to preserve it a wide toothed comb can help. It helps to comb your hair so your not pulling and tugging and damaging the follicles. It is also an asset when your hair grows back so you can gently comb your new crowning glory, because it might not come back straight, it might come back tight curls, again this will help with easing the hair through the comb.
A natural product with no parabens or chemicals as far as we are aware.
Chemo can give you many different tastes in your mouth, (metal Mickey). Having a mouth wash can hopefully leave your mouth refreshed and remove those nasty tastes.

The theory is that by applying a coat of black (on both fingers and toes), it effectively blocks out the light. Brush on at least two coats and keep it on as long as possible. Instead of removing it as it’s damaged or chipped, just apply a fresh layer over top. (Tip nut).
