I also want to do something nice
I just found out that my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer. She's always been my favorite aunt and we're very close. I baby sat her kids from the time they were infants (the oldest is now a senior in HS) and she is DD's godmother.
I've talked to her about her diagnosis, and she has a great positive outlook. She's very religious and her faith based approach is keeping her calm. She is having surgery on 5/8 to remove the cancerous tissue and will likely go through radiation therapy after that.
They believe that they caught it very early (at her routine mammogram). She lives 3 hours away from me, what can I do for her and her family?

Re: I also want to do something nice
My aunt just had a double mastectomy for breast cancer earlier this year. One thing she seemed to really appreciate was pretty pajamas that buttoned up the front. Since she had drains, bandages that needed changing, etc, buttons were nice so that she had easier access. Also the pretty just helped her to feel nice when otherwise she wasn't.
Beyond that, maybe gift cards for the grocery store or a restaurant near her that delivers could be nice:)
I agree with Gwen, some pretty/comfy pajamas would probably be wonderful.
Also, if she likes to do things like Suduko or Crossword puzzles - that may help her keep her mind off of stuff while she's receiving treatment.
When my nephew was born, I found a meal delivery service in my BIL/SIL's city and had a week's worth of dinners sent. They really appreciated that.
Best wishes to your aunt.
Since she is religious maybe having a mass for her? i don't know if that's a possibility? i know you can do it when someone dies but not sure if its done wile people are alive....
My mom really liked having a good cream like cerave or eucerine when she was having radiation as it dried her skin out. It is not as time consuming as the chemo was, pretty much just in and out of the hospital after they zapped her. But it did make her tired. So nice jammies, maybe some good lotion.
I hope your aunt's treatment kicks her cancer's a$$.
