Excellent advice, thanks for sharing. I'm a 5-year cancer survivor and have heard it all, both good and bad. Here's some of my tips: 1. Listen more, say less. 2. Bring soup. 3. Let your loved one take the lead in conversation. 4. Don't press for sensitive information, such as the stage of the disease or prognosis. 5. If you must Google, keep your findings to yourself. Every cancer case is extremely unique and beyond comparison. 6. Do not bombard your loved one with information. Let them absorb this new reality at their own pace. 7. Slow down. You will have time to figure this thing out and so will your beloved.

What to Say When a Family Member is Diagnosed with Cancer

  It is beautifully made

Angel Ribbon Pin

  Excellent ideas expressed for the wearing of bladder cancer awareness.

No One Fights Alone® Wristband

  Product is very well made. Have had many compliments

Angel Ribbon Pin

  This charm is amazing. I have esophageal cancer, the color, size and weight of these charms are prefect for use on bracelets or on a necklace.
The folks at " Choose Hope" are friendly and very service conscious.
I pray that Choose Hope's mission statement will come true. I will be back for the wonderful products and to support the fight against all forms of cancer.
God Bless "Choose Hope" and the fine people that support the fight.

Ribbon Awareness Charm

  First I want to say that the bracelet and ring were of exceptional quality.
After my surgery I was given a "pinkish" esophageal cancer bracelet to wear. The type of cancer was imprinted on the bracelet which, if I was found non responsive would explain the type of cancer I had.
When looking at your website, it listed by color, the type of cancer the bracelet represented, which in this instance was periwinkle blue.
I believed [wrongly I've since found out] that the type of cancer would be imprinted on the band.
I called the company immediately and spoke to a customer service representative who was very polite and apologized. She indicated that none of their cancer bracelets and rings were imprinted with the type of cancer represented by the color.

No One Fights Alone® Wristband

  I bought 2 one for me and one for my wife who has cervical cancer. Perfect gift for anyone with so many to choose from.

No One Fights Alone® Wristband

  I haven't gotten to see the pin yet as it was a surprise gift for one of my dearest friends in NH who just survived her fight with cancer and won! She got the "all clear" so I ordered the pin to be delivered directly to her with the great gift card option. She was so touched and really thrilled to have a pin to wear proudly. She loves the pin and she sure earned it. Thank you, Choose Hope, for providing this wonderful site and such great products. It's an honorable service.

Cancer Survivor Ribbon Pin

  The leather band came loose from the buckle in the first week.

Men's Leather Ribbon Awareness Bracelet

  I ordered the wristbands and rings in various sizes because I wanted to give them to family members. My husband was diagnosed with leukemia in December and this was one way I wanted to show him our support. Unfortunately, he died in January. When family flew in from other states, they were able to pick out a wristband or ring in their size and immediately wear them. It gave us all comfort to look down at the wristband or ring and remember Roger. The leukemia color is orange and orange reminds us of Halloween, Roger’s favorite holiday. The items were packaged individually and they are a good quality item. I’d recommend these items.

No One Fights Alone® Wristband

  I am really pleased with all of my necklaces and earrings they were just what I wanted Thanks

Prayer Locket (Closeout)

  I love my Ribbon Awareness Necklace. I purchased the same one a few months back and reviewed how wonderful it was. Well, the chain broke and I lost the pendant. I thought that it was my fault. So I ordered another one because I love it so much, especially since Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month was coming. Well, the second one came and I again wore it every day. I came home from doing errands and and noticed that the chain was broken. Thank goodness the pendant was there this time. Would rather have you sell the pendant without a chain instead of selling it with an inferior chain that will break after wearing the necklace 3 or less times, and one that will not allow customers to remove the pendant because of the way the chain has a Choose Hope circle on it. I love the pendant, but not for the $20.00 it has already cost me. Including a photo of the necklace and broken chain.

Cancer Awareness Ribbon Necklace

  I am always happy with Choose Hope merchandise. It help our family cope with my mother's cancer. Our support is very important.

  My Dad has lung cancer and I saw these and fell in love. I ordered one for my mom and myself. I didn't tell Dad about it. He was touched when he saw them. I told him "we have your back"
Going back to the bracelet itself. Its beautiful. I so didn't expect it to be this high quality. I'm going to get other colors. Lets beat cancer together !

  I bought 3 of these bracelets for a 14 year old girl who has Lymphoma, and her mother and grandmother. They all 3 wear them together to remind them of what cancer cannot do. It's a powerful message of hope. They love them.

  I bought this bracelet with the color scheme for thyroid cancer. I really love it a lot. I have worn it every day since I got it. It is a very classy looking piece of jewelry. I am very happy that I bought it.

Be Aware Ribbon Bracelet

  When I received these magnets I immediately started to hand them out. Everyone I asked to put this on their vehicle said yes and they loved the convenient size of them. Even the guys I asked put them on their cars. I'm going to order more when I run out.

Mini Ribbon Awareness Magnet

  Exactly what I was looking for.

Ribbon Awareness Charm

  After a courageous battle with Lymphoma, Melanoma & Osteosarcoma we lost Our Beloved Golden Retriever Apollo. This is kept with his lock of hair and paw print as a symbol that he will be Forever in Our Hearts.

Forever In My Heart Ornament

  I love the look of this bracelet. It was exactly what I was looking for to replace the rubber "Prostate Cancer Awareness" bracelet that I have been wearing. After a couple weeks, the beads all turned black and lost all of their luster. I was hoping that it would have lasted longer. It would be great if someone could design a 'sterling silver' bracelet that isn't going to change color or tarnish. Pretty bracelet, just disappointed in the material used.
