Soothing Eye Mask
One of the most common side effects of radiotherapy is fatigue. The fatigue is likely to get worse as your loved one progresses through their treatment. This soothing gel beads eye mask is ideal for relieving tired eyes from radiotherapy induced fatigue as well as the general stresses and strains that cancer brings. Fitted with adjustable straps and with soft fabric on the reverse, the mask is designed with comfort in mind. For added benefit, the band is fragranced with lavender, sweet orange and geranium to help your loved one relax, unwind and feel the stress melt away. Size - 20cm (W) x 9cm (H). Random colour allocation.
Udderly Smooth Extra Care Cream with 10% Urea - 118ml
Udderly Smooth Extra Care Cream contains 10% Urea which is well-known for its hydrating, exfoliating and protecting properties. It's a non-greasy, fragrance free, deeply moisturising cream which is often recommended by oncology professionals to help protect and relieve dry, sore skin during cancer treatment.
Himalayan Bath Salts - 75g
Himalayan Bath Salts have been used for centuries in beauty and wellness treatments for their soothing, moisturising and hydrating properties. This sachet of Himalayan Bath Salts is a blend of coarse and fine pink Himalayan Salts with no additional ingredients that could cause irritation to skin that may be sore or dry from radiotherapy treatment. A pampering treat to help your loved one take some time out from the stresses and strains of cancer treatment, whilst moisturising and hydrating dry skin. Single serving.
Lemon Xylitol Mints (15g)
Patients may feel nauseous during radiotherapy treatment and mint is well known for easing nausea. We’ve specifically chosen Peppersmith Sicilian Lemon flavoured mints because they contain Xylitol. Sucking Xylitol mints can help to relieve a dry mouth that many people experience when undergoing radiotherapy treatment to the head or neck area.
Spacemask Self-Heating Eye Mask (single mask)
A cancer diagnosis is stressful. From the moment your loved one opens the Spacemask self-heating, eye mask, they will be temptingly invited on a journey of relaxation. Spacemasks make a great, pampering treat for anyone facing the stress of a cancer diagnosis. Single use mask.
