What to get a Chemo Queen for Christmas

Christmas is around the corner and it may be hard to know what to get the Chemo Queen in your life, especially something that could be useful and greatly appreciated.

Hello Soho

It’s my first weekend with my bald head which merits an outing somewhere cool and trendy in its honour.
