When a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, it can feel like the ground beneath us shifts. The emotions that follow—shock, worry, and hope—run deep, and we search for ways to offer our support. For many of us, one of the most meaningful gestures we can make is giving a gift that embodies our love, care, and hopes for their strength and recovery. If you're preparing a gift for a friend who is about to begin cancer treatment, every detail matters. A necklace with a protective symbol, like the eye, can serve as a beautiful and personal token to let her know she's not alone on this journey.

You’ve chosen to give this gift just before your friend is admitted to the hospital for treatment. This is a meaningful time—she may be feeling a mixture of nerves and anticipation, unsure of what lies ahead. Giving her this necklace before her treatment begins allows her to carry a piece of you with her, a tangible reminder of the support and love she has around her. It’s something she can reach for whenever she needs a reminder of the strength within her and the community around her.

Though a necklace can be a beautiful gesture, remember that your presence and support are the greatest gifts of all. Let her know that whether she wears the necklace every day or keeps it close by her bed, you’ll be there for her, ready to offer whatever she needs.
