A member asked:

Please describe a good birthday gift for a cancer patient?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Just like others: You need to treat this patient same way as you would treat him/her if there was no cancer in the picture. There is no reason to treat a cancer patient differently than you would treat others who do not have cancer.
