So today, a good friend of mine got diagnosed with leukemia. She will be undergoing chemotherapy next week. My friend and I are already planning to get her a Minnie Mouse candy apple to cheer her up but I was wondering what else we should get her to keep her spirits up since she loves Disneyland.

So sorry to hear about your friend.  - d!sn3yphan  310.2 #577 7:02PM

So sorry! :( - BrerPirate  0.1 #74129 7:05PM
I'll be praying for her, what about a girls night out? Or in? - kyoto_sparkle  150.2 #2331 7:06PM
have you heard of the no sew blankets go to the fabric store and get her favorite character and a contrasting fleece get 2 1/2 yards because during chemo they get cold and this will help bring a smile to her face - Loridrives  680.4 #158 7:06PM
Blanket. Get the blanket. Make her a Dizzyland Mix. Get her some ears. and what's most important be there for her. Especially on her bad days. - Butterlina  1313.6 #63 7:06PM
Good idea Lori!  - kyoto_sparkle  150.2 #2331 7:07PM
I'm so sorry about your friend. She will be in my prayers. - ally  445.0 #4 7:07PM
Good idea Lori. Prayers for your friend Mau. - Tom  4013.7 #7 7:10PM
Sorry to hear about your friend. Sending out prayers. I second the blanket idea. If she is starting chemo food treats might not work for her. - Dahulagirl  1053.8 #83 7:14PM
I'm so sorry to hear but keep your and your friend's spirits high...that is very important. It may be a little too soon but when she is ready take her hat shopping I used to love doing that with my mom especially when we used to try silly hats on. - MozPrincess  577.4 #196 7:14PM
If you want to know how to make the blanket look me up on FB Lori Plumb and I will give you instructions also hand crafts like cross or crochet or something to do with her hands while she is waiting always helps. and fill her I pod with disney songs always helps with the mood. As you can tell been there done that with family Lkei Butter says just be there that is most important - Loridrives  680.4 #158 7:15PM
Maybe a Disney silk scarf incase she loses her hair during chemo? I'm so sorry for your friend! Please try to be there for her no matter what, even though it will be tough on you at times. - dLittleMermaid  44.2 #3946 7:16PM
Sorry to hear about your friend. I hope that she does well. - Song  954.9 #93 7:18PM
What about some activity she can do while she gets her treatments? Like some Disney handheld electronic games or books about Disneyland she can read? - MTLott  79.8 #3327 7:36PM
Im so sorry. Chemo can be so rough. I'll be praying she responds well to the treatments - HiddenMickeys  216.4 #1430 7:57PM
Everyone has so many thoughtful ideas. This is great :-) - Dahulagirl  1053.8 #83 8:02PM
She is lucky to have a caring friend. The best support you can give is being there and listening. Plus a nice Disney day when you can. Lots of movies and what not - Minderella  265.8 #883 8:07PM
prayers out to your friend... i had a friend of mine get this not to long ago also... - element  58.5 #3645 8:10PM
Very sorry! Praying for you and your friend. - MrsPrinceCharming 8:12PM
I will keep both of you in my prayers.I will pray that your friend responds well to the chemotherapy and that you keep strong. - cyndaws  252.9 #1009 8:16PM
Prayers and positive thoughts for your friend  - LBChica  1560.4 #52 8:21PM
I would say get your friend a blanket a small pillow and a mug with her favorite character and herbal tea - cyndaws  252.9 #1009 8:22PM
I'm so sorry your friend is going thru this battle. However, you might want to check in with her about what food she is allowed to eat. Often times when someone is undergoing chemotherapy, they are not allowed to eat fresh fruit or vegetables when their immune system is compromised. Otherwise, I love the blanket and hat ideas. Maybe some sort of Disney themed journal for her to record her thoughts. Or a photo album/framed photo. Or Disney socks! Those are great if she will spending time in the hospital. Your friendship and time will be the most important things to her. - Polkadobo  372.1 #382 8:32PM
My heart goes out to you & your friend. I would make her a mixed CD of uplifting Disney songs with ( when you wish upon a star) as the first track. God bless!! - retlaw  13.0 #6152 8:47PM
Sorry to hear about your friend. You could get her a fleece to keep her warm while she's in for treatments. Or maybe something very touching like an autograph book but have the characters sign get well soon, if they're allowed to. Not sure since I've never gotten an autograph. Haha - Ht  614.0 #182 9:26PM
Im sorry to hear! God almighty will take care of her. Im going to pray for her & you! God bless her! - BeautyandTheBeast  142.7 #2449 9:56PM
I  the blanket idea and the autograph book idea is too cute!!! - MozPrincess  577.4 #196 9:59PM
she will be in my prayers!!! - litswtsmile  161.3 #2176 10:08PM
Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. Also thanks for the warning about food. She thinks those apples are too cute to eat anyways so she'll most likely give it to her family. That blanket idea sounds like a great idea. I'm pretty crafty myself and I've seen a couple of people around with those blankets you're talking about. Thank you guys for all your suggestions! - maulovesdisney  7.7 #7932 10:14PM
DL has large red and blue fleece snuggies now...at the emporium and world of Disney. Totally agree about no treats and agree on the autograph book. I'm sure there's some plaid CM's that will help you out with that one. ;-) - KristenK98  6.3 #9008 10:16PM
