Thank you, Adriene.  I'd love to hear from other people about great gifts they have given or received.  After my list was posted, I thought about a great big ticket gift--a laptop computer.  Computers are such an important tool for researching treatments and finding support.  If she has been using the computer at work or in a separate room, she might love a laptop.

...And even better, Phyllis, having a laptop that one can take into bed with them, and sit propped-up, if the energy is not there.  That way survivors can keep in contact with their loved-ones and friends, write in their blog!!! and research what is important to them!  I say a LAPTOP IS A MUST!!  so if anyone out there reads this, consider a laptop for your special survivor!!!!
