Cancer Kits provide vital help

Cancer Support UK is inviting people in East Kilbride and Strathaven who are undergoing cancer treatment to order one of its free Cancer Kits.

The charity offer Cancer Kits as a practical aid to recovery, and each Kit is carefully curated and brimming with practical items to help those receiving cancer treatment.

The Kits are free of charge and delivered straight to your door.

You can order one for yourself, or a friend or family member.

There are three kits – a Chemo Kit, a Kids’ Kit and a general Cancer Kit.

Chemo Kits are designed to help people undergoing chemotherapy.

They contain items to offset some of the unpleasant side effects of treatment, like cold hands and feet, nausea, and sensitive teeth.

General Cancer Kits are designed to help adults who are not receiving chemotherapy but are undergoing another form of cancer treatment.

They contain items like puzzle books to relieve boredom, relaxing pillow spray to aid sleep, and toiletries to use on the go.

While Kids’Kits are designed to brighten the days of children living with cancer and undergoing treatment. They contain small toys and colouring sets to help entertain and pass the time in hospital, and practical items like cosy socks and antibacterial wipes.

Gemma Holding, chief executive of Cancer Support UK said: “Our Cancer Kits have been distributed to thousands of people going through cancer treatment, all across the UK.“
