Lap quilt or tote. Iam a cancer survivor of 3 years, the chemo sometimes makes you cold, my onc. office had blankets but your own lapquilt would be so nice. A tote to carry book, snacks water would also be nice since I never went without those things. Usually with all the anti nausea stuff you don't get too sick, but I always had an uneasy stomach and so took crackers and chocolate, they helped to settle tummy.
Head covers are good for when the hairloss starts usually about 17 days after start of chemo, although not everyone does lose hair, depends on the type of chemo.
Your are very thoughtful and I am sure your friend will appreciate any gesture you offer. Sometimes just being a good listener and not avoiding your "cancer" friend means a lot. I was very fortunate to have a large support group of family and friends.
