Gift for My PS

Hi all.  I have given gifts to my oncologist and his staff and my BS and his staff after what I considered was the "end" of their active treatment of me.  I had chemo first and when I had my last chemo I ordered pink roses and gave one to each of the ladies on his staff from the receptionist to the chemo nurses.  I had the florist wrap each of them individually and she put pretty pink bows on them.  I also gave my oncologist a coffee mug with an inscription on it.  I bought a bunch of pink ribbon pins and key chains and gave them to the nurses with the flowers.  Same thing for my Breast Surgeon and his staff except I gave him a bottle of champagne (pink but that was just a coincidence as it was a brut rose' that I really like) and I did not do the flowers and his staff is much smaller so I gave them each a card and a pin or key chain.  The breast nurse educator I gave a necklace that had a pink circle. She talked me through many tearful phone calls.  It may sound like I spent a lot but I did not at all.  I went to a store that had all of their breast cancer items on sale and cleaned them out so that I would have a little something for everyone.  I have been wondering about my PS because I am about to do my exchange in December and I really do not know many of his staff because I see him at a small satellite office as his real office is two hours away.  I think a bottle of wine would be great and as he is not so closely connected to breast cancer as the rest I think I will skip all of the pink.  I think it is very thoughtful of you to even be thinking about this and a bottle of wine would be very appropriate.  Especially if it a favorite of yours.  I can tell you that the gifts that we gave to the other doctors and their staffs were very appreciated and they did not act like it was not appropriate.  A token of your appreciation for great care or a job well done is always nice.  Take care everyone.

When my med onc had a baby, I bought a book for him. She seemed very appreciative. I think it's the thought that counts when we do something for our docs.

Send a Candy Bouquet.  I have plans to do this very soon to my PS.  I had a Reduction/ Lift to my good side... he did an amazing job for only being able to work on the one good boob to match to the other one   Had the surgery in July .... had the general follow-ups, I will see him again end of December.

I learned from his nurse that he loves candy.....  after telling her that I make candy bouquets as a stay at home type of job .......

I made paintings for both my BS and my main nurse who talked me through some freak outs. They were very appreciative!!! I used pink which I never use to push myself. I plan on giving more to the radiation and medical departments as I meet them
