I am a 14 year breast cancer survivor!!!! Your mother can be one too!!! In the chemo room where I took my chemo, they had a basket up front on the desk with lots of scarves, hats, etc. Also, there was an American Cancer Society office in the lobby of the big medical building and they had lots of them - all for free, of course. If you do make some, please make them in bright, cheery prints/colors. HTH
