Have a friend in recovery? A relative losing their hair to cancer treatment? A coworker diagnosed with diabetes?
If you’ve looked, you know there are too few cards out there that say anything appropriate for the situation. “Caring Path” cards are helping change that.
Caring Path cards deal with Gimpiness of all sorts in a direct, caring and often off-beat way. Cait sent one to her mother when she was finishing up radiation treatments. The card stock was of high quality and the message unique.
Don’t be put off by the slightly sappy web site. There’s good stuff in there like the Bald Mona Lisa, Bob tells his friends about his cancer treatment and Happy Last Chemo!
Take a look. We will be ordering more.

Great cards! Wish they’d been around when I was doing chemo. The kindest thing anyone ever did for me during my hairless phase was give me some large, soft cotton scarves to cover my head since the stretch wig made my scalp itch and gave me a headache. This was a woman I barely knew, but she scoured the resale stores to find them. We are now good friends.
A funny “hairless” story: towards the end of my treatments (before my hair grew back) I had supper with a close friend and her kids, and feeling comfortable I didn’t bother covering my head. Her then 14-year-old son stared at me all through supper, and confessed later that my bald scalp “freaked him out.” Imagine the razzing I gave him when a few months later he got on the school bus (I was driving) with his head shaved!
