Re: How Have You Demonstrated Thanks For Help?
Bonnie said it. Pass on the kindness !!!!!!!!
I try to help other folks in the doctor's office if they seem to be having a problem or are aprehensive about their treatment. Nurses some times ask me to hold somebody's hand during chemo if they see me around the office, especially if the needle hurts.
My neigbbor found out he has lung cancer while he was in the hospital for a heart attack. He is doing chemo now. I try to put helpful things on his door--------a few healthy non perishable low sodium snacks once in awhile, a Patient Resources Guide (He loved that.) etc. I chat with him when I see him around our building and he is in the mood. He deals with alot of side effects and stays by himself alot.
I send Valentine's cards to those who have been helpful to me. I offer people something towards gas when they give me rides. I might take someone who helped me out to lunch or send them a birthday card if I know when their birthday is.
