As an oncology nurse, Lexi Timmons saw how devastating a cancer diagnosis can be on the patient and on those who love them. When her own mother was diagnosed with triple negative cancer, she wanted to find a way to cheer her up as she went through the mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation treatments. She looked high and low for funny greeting cards for cancer patients and could not find a single one.
“I wanted to make my mom laugh, and now I want to make cancer patients all over the world laugh. My goal is to begin selling my greeting cards online and in hospital gift shops where they can be easily seen by the loved ones of cancer patients,” Lexi says. Now a full-blown business, Lexi is ready to go global with her line of greeting cards dedicated JUST to cancer patients. “I’m here to make a difference in the cancer experience.”
Lexi has a card for every occasion for the cancer patient. From celebrating the last chemo to witty humor about the side effects of treatment, the goal is to put a smile on the face of a cancer patient. “Some of the humor only cancer patients would appreciate,” she admits. “A lot of the inspiration came from jokes my patients would crack about the terrible night they’d had before.” The line includes birthday cards, Christmas cards, Anniversary cards, Mother’s Day cards, Get Well Cards, or even cards from the patient’s pet!
