What should I put in a gift basket for someone who has cancer?

My friend is terminally ill with cancer but she really doesn't know much about the disease. I'd like to put some things in that basket like some books that would help her to understand what her body is going through, about natural treatments, or an account of someone going through the same thing. Maybe a robe and some slippers for her stays at the hospital. Something else to make her laugh. I want to make it full of things that are informative, motivating, hope filled, thoughtful, and enjoyable. I was thinking of buying that Crazy, Sexy Cancer book to start. Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks very very much for the help!

If I was dying of cancer, I don't think that helpful books about the disease would make me feel better. It would probably make me more depressed. Terminally ill means not able to recover. Are you sure that's what you mean to say? You would do far better to put in any form of treat or little luxury that you would give if she was well, allowing for diet or medication.
