i found out over last weekend one of my friends has cancer. i want to go visit her for this weekend in hospital whilst shees having chemo.
what things can i bring to help entertain her? she is jewish and will be on sabbath so nothing electric.
Just be a good listener…. all my friend did when he had cancer was just talk, and talk and talk… you need to listen to her and keep positive

Good old fashioned board games or card games.
Pente and backgammon are a good games

magazines, newspapers – but just be there and talk to her. She will want to talk – just be a good listener. And be prepared to be shocked – chemo takes a horrible loss on people – she will probably look dreadful.
EDIT : ohhhhhhh my friend developed a dreadful craving for ice cream during chemo – find out what she fancies!
DOUBLE EDIT : love love love Carls idea – what a brilliant thought!!!
