Does anybody have any clients with cancer? If so, what types of products do they seem interested in?

We have a friend at church and co worker of my husband who was recentlydiagnosed with Hodgekin's disease and he is using the defense builder and men's vitamin and body lotion. We gifted them to him and he is really happy with them all. I get the vitamins on auto ship and the body lotion in the $5 bonus section, so it is a cheap way for us to give a little extra support during this hard time for him. He was dx a month after his first baby was born after they had been trying to get pregnant for 5 years, it should have been such a happy time. He is doing well, though. He lost all his hair so all the men in the department shaved their heads in a sign of solidarity. It is so cute to see all these shiny heads around, knowing they did it out of love.

When my grandma (former DM with Arbonne) got cancer she only lived 5 months. The doctors were amazed at how she looked so good. I know my family used the Conditioning Oil and lip protector on her. I can find what else..

Hi -


As someone who has been through cancer treatments I could tell you what I would have used.


After surgery when I couldn't shower and had to takesponge baths for a while,any kind of shower gel made me feel better - I would have liked the Aromassenstials. Also the body lotion to go with it.


I didn't have radiation, but from talking to people who have had it, the skin gets awfully burned and sore. The ABC body oil or the Body Basics skin care oil would be good. I know it has worked wonders for my son's eczema.

I look forward to the additional input. Thanks everyone.


I've had recent encounters with folks with cancer and they all tell me they're concerned about what they put on their skin. My own mom has cancer as well so I keep thinking there's got to be something I can give her. She hasn't had any radiation or chemo yet(although we'll be exploring the possibility of radiation tomorrow) but I want to be prepared. She has, however, had several surgeries and I've used the rejuvenating cream and skin conditioning oil on her scars and they've healed beautifully.


I was also wondering if something like the defense builder may be worth trying as well.....

I agree with the body lotions, shower gels, etc.


My MIL has Ovarian Cancer (in remission now, thank God) and while she was undergoing chemo, she had a lot of problems with dry skin. I'm new to Arbonne, but if I'd have been in the business while she was going through chemo, I would have had lots of "treats" for her! :)


Keeping an upbeat and positive attitude is so very important! Our little luxuries can help with that.

My mom had a tumor in her brain and after her radiation her skin was very blotchy. She now uses the RE9 and loves it.
