What do women need during cancer treatment and how to ask for help?

For any woman fighting cancer - I put together something free that might help. I’m Kelly, a breast cancer survivor, and during my own journey I remember feeling completely overwhelmed — not knowing what I needed for chemo, surgery, cold capping, drains, radiation, or even how to ask for help. That experience led me to build something I wish I had. I’m launching a completely free resource on December 13th called Re-Femme. It’s for any woman going through any type of cancer. It includes: • A curated cancer-care registry with items needed for each stage of treatment • cold capping and wig fund options you can add to your registry to send to friends and family who want to contribute. • Practical guides on cold capping, drain care, insurance codes, and coping with side effects • Emotional support tools and survivor-led tips • A way for loved ones to know exactly how to support someone going through treatment. You can add items or gift cards to your Re-Femme registry and easily share it with friends and family who want to support you! If you are a woman fighting cancer or know a woman who is, here’s the link to join and be notified the minute we go live! www.joinrefemme.com My only goal is to make the journey less overwhelming for other women. Sending love to everyone fighting, supporting, or healing. 💗

This sounds like a thoughtful resource that could help women navigate the practical challenges of cancer treatment. Having curated lists of needed items for each treatment stage, guidance on asking for support, and ways for loved ones to contribute meaningfully addresses real gaps many patients face during their journey. Resources that combine practical preparation with emotional support tools can make the overwhelming aspects of treatment feel more manageable. Thank you for sharing this with the community - initiatives created by survivors often provide valuable insights that can benefit others facing similar challenges.
