Another happy cancer warrior. Isn’t she such a beautiful little princess? Keep on being brave.
With the holiday season closely approaching, Cards of Hope could use donations to help make our warriors’ Christmas season a little happier. Please consider donating today. Even a book of stamps helps us out a lot.
Here is another one of our cancer warriors so happy to get some hugs and hope in the mail from Cards of Hope. Please think about donating to help us continue this wonderful program.
Here at Cards of Hope, we try to show love, hope and hugs to the cancer warriors that we write to. This cancer warrior is showing off his card and guitar necklace that we sent to him. He rocks for being so strong and brave.
Often times I have people ask me how they can be relieved of their nausea and/or vomiting with their cancer treatments. So here are some tips that will help get you some relief if you are experiencing nausea or vomiting.

2. Drink a cup of warm peppermint tea.
3. Try drinking a glass of ginger-ale.
4. Try sucking on a piece of hard candy or a lollipop.
5. Eat some saltines or dry toast (very slowly) .
