The season of giving is officially underway. I often get questions from people who are putting together gift baskets for friends and family undergoing chemotherapy, so I thought it would be helpful to put together a list of items that are most useful, particularly if your friend or loved one is taking a type of chemo with harsh side effects (as I did five years ago.) Side effects can include hair loss, neuropathy, and altered taste, so a thoughtfully curated care package can be a true comfort.1
