CancerPal provides products and care boxes to ease the side effects of cancer treatment.
They have spent hundreds of hours carefully researching products that can help ease the wide-ranging symptoms and side effects of cancer and listened to thousands of cancer patients, carers and oncology professionals. CancerPal’s mission is to bring these products together in a one-stop, online shop to save you from spending precious time looking for them.

ForgetMeNot cards are designed to hold precious memories.
The cards are securely contained in an elegant yet sturdy box. Each card is double sided; one side designed to have a special moment written down and the other side for a reflection from someone who shared it with you. These great quality cards can record snapshots of events and occasions to pass on for generations to come.
​
These cards can be used in a variety of ways. One of our Star Mums, mother of four children battling a terminal cancer diagnosis says: "choose to use these cards to record precious moments that I have the luxury of witnessing with my babies." They can also be used with friends, at family functions, or to record quirky family traditions and celebrations.
Mummy's Star Mums can purchase the cards at a discounted rate of £20 (including free P&P). You can purchase them here.
