I have a close family friend in Belgium who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I am making a care package for her, so I was wondering if the pink ribbon is an international symbol for breast cancer. Also, if you have any ideas for gifts, that would be great.

the pink ribbon seems to be international as it is the symbol for breast cancer in the UK also.

How very thoughtful you are! I believe the pink ribbon has become international. I work with a group that does "care" packages for women with breast cancer. We include things such as cd's (both Melissa Ethridge and Olivia Newton John have cd's with songs of inspiration that are wonderful) and some "special" small books or cards with a strong message of hope. I was far away from one of my sisters when she was diagnosed and her favorite thing that I sent was "arms" that I cut out of heavy paper. I sent it with a note that until I could get there myself, here was a hug whenever she needed it. Yeah, I know it sounds childish, but it made her laugh and let her know I was thinking about her
