This gift was for my little sister. There were 4 sisters in my family and all 4 of us have had cancer. She is the latest to deal with it. She has been doing radiation for breast cancer and, in her words, "My chest is a mess!" She loved the gift box. Everything in it was wonderful. Thank you so much.

The Ideal Radiation Essentials Box Includes:
Aluminum Free Deodorant
During radiation therapy, many radiation oncologists discourage the use of standard drugstore deodorants that contain aluminum. There are a variety of reasons, like concerns that the aluminum could interfere with radiation dosage, or that the interaction between radiation and aluminum could irritate sensitive radiated skin. Regardless, switching to an aluminum-free deodorant is an easy way to comply with this directive without succumbing to stinky sweat stains. Humble Brands all natural deodorants provide a gentle application with a light lavender scent. Best of all, it actually works – no sweat stains!
Botanical Burn Balm
Did you know that LOTION is the #1 requested item from Cancer Patients?
Our friends at Polish Your Parts developed this calendula infused balm specifically with radiation patients in mind. Properties in the calendula root are known to alleviate the sting in burns. The balm is easy to apply and should soothe sensitive skin.
⚠️ Allergen Notice: This product contains Black Cumin Seed Oil (black seed oil). May contain traces of nuts — please consult your physician before use if you have a nut allergy.
Calendula Soap
Calendula oil is known for its anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. This soap smells fantastic and should be gentle on tender skin.
No Sweat Ice Pack
Cancer Patients rate ice packs in their TOP 5 most requested items. These are the ideal size for chemo port and radiation-sized burns. The sweat-free ice packs do not leave damp marks on clothes. Plus, they are large enough to provide relief, yet small enough to stay ‘hidden’ under an arm or tucked into clothing. *Ice Pack design may vary
Dimensions:
- 7" x 4" x .25" // 18 cm x 10 cm x .6 cm
- 185 Grams // 6.2 fl oz
Seat Belt Shield
Seat belts are an unexpected challenge for breast cancer patients. Unfortunately, seat belts tend to rub directly against the most tender part of a breast-cancer patient's torso while undergoing (and recovering from) surgery and radiation treatment. Simply insert the pillow between you and your seat belt and TA-DA – pain free driving! *Pillow fabric color may vary
Lip Balm
Dry, cracked, and painful lips are a common side effect of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Knowing cancer treatments can make even light scents unbearable, these unscented lip balms from Polish Your Parts are a great option for cancer patients. Formulated with organic and natural ingredients, Lip Lovin’ lip balms provide comforting moisture to dry and sensitive lips.
The Cancer Card
Living with cancer stinks – but there IS one teeny tiny silver lining: The Cancer Card. Flash your official membership card to the closest friend or family member and VOILA – skip annoying tasks and activities! (Hint: We've heard it works well with laundry folding, grocery runs and dish washing.)
The Ideal Radiation Comprehensive Box Includes ALL items in Essentials PLUS:
Tea Time
One of the most common cancer treatment side effects is fatigue. It is critical to employ self-care when feeling worn down. This charming little teapot, cookies, and flavored Tea Drops branded teas provide a perfect little midday respite. *Tea and cookie flavors may vary.

My sister in law loved the box. She recently had a double mastectomy and is getting ready to start radiation treatments. She said she was going to use everything in there. This is such a meaningful, practical gift.
Recipient was very happy with box and contents!
My mom loved it! Especially the cancer card. Lol
Arrived at my friend's door as promised. She absolutely loves all the ite.s in the box. So far the seatbelt pad and ice packs are the most used! Great product to help people.
I purchased this for a colleague at work and she loved it! She said the radiation oncology nurses recognized the deodorant brand and highly recommended it.
My 85 year old mom was headed into radiation after her lumpectomy. She was scared and very uncertain as to what to expect and how to care for herself once treatment began. I saw the Balm Box, ordered it and took it over to share it with her. We sat around the kitchen table, dad, mom and I and opened the box. It was so beautifully presented, each product of obvious quality, meeting a specific need. What gave us a lift was the Cancer Card. While it acknowledged the struggle, it also gave us a giggle and wry sense of what is ahead. She is doing well and we appreciate your product. As I age, I'm 61, I know I'll be purchasing more Balm Boxes for friends. Blessings to you and those who helped curate this gift.
Great products
Sent this box to my sister in law post mastectomy and before she starts rediation treatments. She loved everything in the box and said she is planning to use everything. This is a high quality, practical gift for those fighting cancer.
I am sure my friend will love it
It was a gift for myself. The next phase of my treatment plan is radiation. I wanted to be prepared.
It was a great hit for my aunt.
Very quick arrival and the recipient loved it.
So far she has enjoyed all of the products she has used so far.
She was so excited to receive the box. She is getting ready to start radiation and was reading about things she may need and it all showed up in your box. Thank you so much.
My sister loved receiving this gift and the nite from the founder. Thank you!
I went one to my friend that is going through cancer treatments. She loved it!
My best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer and preparing for radiation. Sent her the Balm Box for radiation and she was so surprised and thrilled. She especially got a kick out of her "cancer card".
My friend loved it. Called it thoughtful and appropriate.
Recipient loved it!
This was for my wonderful Bonus Daughter who is going through radiation. She absolutely Loved it. Each item in the box was thoughtfully chosen with a radiation patients needs in mind. From the seatbelt cover to the drip-less ice-pack and the ointment, every detail was perfect. Plus the little touches like the tea and cookies. All of these made this box extra special. I highly recommend The Balm Box for anyone going through a similar journey.
My girlfriend who is going through the treatment called me immediately after receiving the box to tell me how much she appreciated it and couldn’t wait to dig deeper into the surprise! First thing she used… deodorant without aluminum. Thank you for making her journey a little bit brighter🥰
This box was for my sister, it was such a shock to receive the news that she had cancer. This box was so uplifting and such a surprise of delight! Lifting her spirits and giving to others to lift theirs is healing to all.💖🙏
Glad this was available and in different packages for radiation vs chemotherapy, etc. very helpful!
After receiving a box during my treatments I gifted one to my friend who will start radiation soon. She was so appreciative and loved it!
The feedback (was a gift) was she could tell that everything in there was thoughtfully planned out from experience and everything she needed to help her be more comfortable and comforted through the tough journey. Thank you.
When I found out my mother would have to undergo radiation treatment, I wanted to make sure she felt supported and like she had what she needed to get through treatments. So much of the cancer treatment care information out there is geared toward chemo, but Balm Box's offering had a great selection of items that she could put to immediate use. I would recommend this for anyone whose loved one is go through treatment.
They weren't home when we dropped it off, but called soon after and expressed their excitement about the gift and the thoughtfulness that went into it.
My friend will be having radiation after her diagnosis of breast cancer. I ordered the radiation balm box and she was so touched. Unfortunately this was my second balm box given to a friend. But both ladies were happy with all the items. It’s frustrating as a friend to be so helpless, but the gift of a Balm Box helps. I hope I don’t have the occasion to have to send a box to another friend, but if I do I wouldn’t hesitate.
This was given as a gift to a family member. They were very happy to receive it and know we were thinking of them. We did not know what to send so it was nice to find a gift box with a variety of products chosen specifically for their situation.
She is using and enjoying all of the items!
Recipient loved her box!
My sister-in-law was diagnosed recently with breast cancer. As she lives 800 miles away from us , I felt frustrated with the feeling of what can I do? Searching online for ideas, I found The Balm Box which I ordered for her. She was thrilled with the beautifully packaged balm box. She raved about the seat belt protector which gave her immediate relief. Her oncologist asked her to use aluminum-free deodorant which she could not find. The Balm Box took care of that! My sister-in-law has told everyone she knows about the outstanding Balm Box. I certainly hope I don’t ever have to order another Balm Box. However, if anyone I love is diagnosed with this horrible disease I know where to go to send my loved one a Balm Box.
My Aunt is very excited about everything she got to help ease her radiation treatment. Thank you so much for the quality products!
My friend said she used all the products after her radiation treatments:) she loved the lotion and car pillow!
My sister just diagnosed with breast cancer. She will be going through radiation so I thought I would order this box !
The recipient was delighted with the Balm Box items, particularly the seatbelt protector. It has brought her very important comfort while going to her radiation sessions which are an hour's drive. I am so happy to be able to make a difference in her lumpectomy recovery!
This was a gift for my stepdaughter. She loved it.
My friend absolutely loved bed it. Everything she needed after her lumpectomy.
Daughter in law loved everything thanks so much
