My mom just went through a double mastectomy too and some of the things she got were books and movies ( or gift certificates for movie rentals), lotions and body soaps, but one of the things she appreceatied the most were some gift certificates to some local resturants. Several people brought dinners for the first few weeks she was home, but the gift certificates came in handy when she went back to work and was just to tired to cook! Anything you give your friend will be apprciated! And just let her know that you are there for her if she needs anything1
