My wife has been a Chemo Angel for several years now (and a chemo angel for me when I went through my prostate cancer experience a few years back). It's a program I'm not sure very many people know about so I thought I'd spread the word here on TBD.
(Robin, I haven't been through all the TBD groups; are there any other cancer-related groups?)
The Chemo Angels Web site: http://www.chemoangels.net/
From the Web site: "Chemo Angels is a volunteer organization dedicated to adding a ray of sunshine to the lives of those undergoing IV chemo treatment. We believe people going through the physical, emotional and mental rigors of chemotherapy deserve some encouragement. Many of our Chemo Angel volunteers are cancer survivors themselves, or people whose lives have been affected by cancer in some way. Our common denominator is a desire to brighten the lives of cancer patients while they are going through this challenging time."
The Web site presents info on how to sign up, what types of support a person can provide, and, if someone is a chemo patient, it gets him or her registered so a Chemo Angel can be assigned.
It's a fantastic opportunity. Please check it out when you have time.
