Approximately one out of every six people over the age of 65 is a cancer survivor.
It’s likely that at least one of your parents, in-laws, or grandparents are cancer survivors or are undergoing cancer treatment.
Buying a gift for a cancer patient that is also a senior citizen can be especially challenging. These 7 guidelines will help you choose a gift that is useful, practical and appreciated:

Mittens will be warmer than gloves and are appropriate for both men and women. Hospital and doctor’s waiting rooms can be cold and drafty. A fleece-lined sweatshirt for men or soft shawl for a woman will keep them warm while they wait.
Easy
Certain chemo drugs can cause peripheral neuropathy (numbness, tingling and loss of sensation in the hands or feet). Avoid sweaters and shirts with small, difficult buttons. For women, necklaces with small clasps can be impossible to manage. Try a long chain (30″) that she can easily slide over her head. Braided belts and watch straps are easier to fasten, and adjust with weight loss.
Beautiful
Fresh flowers and plants might seem like a good idea, but require care. Wilting flowers or a dying plant can be depressing. A beautiful artificial flowering plant will last for years and is maintenance free.
Safe
Chemotherapy can cause a drop in platelet counts, causing increased bruising and bleeding. Doctors recommend that cancer patients use an electric shaver instead of a razor. …
