Hand sanitizer for when her immune system gets low. Bath and Bodyworks has nice ones.

Head coverings like these if she loses her hair. This is a good company.

Good Ginger snaps for nausea from chemo.

Tea if she is a tea drinker.

I have never used this company, but you might be able to get ideas from the stuff they include in their cancer care packages so you could make your own personal one just for her.
