Nearly half of breast cancer patients say the emotional impacts of cancer, rather than the physical, are the most difficult to deal with. Breast cancer affects 55,000 women every year, with 75% of them reporting increased social isolation throughout their treatment.

Our Chemotherapy Boxes contain over 25 carefully chosen items aimed to relieve the side effects of treatment such as nausea, bone ache and fatigue.
