Clothing recommendations for chemo treatment

CJT511

I will start my chemo on August 26th.  I like being prepared so does anyone have recommendations on clothing that makes it easier for treatment through a port?  I'm thinking maybe a zipped shirt but was looking for what worked for others.  Thanks in advance.

I wore yoga pants and a camisole under a zip up lightweight hoodie type shirt.  I found dressing in layers to be helpful, sometimes I was warm, sometimes cold.

I wore things that I was comfortable in and that would leave my port available. This mostly consisted of yoga pants or leggings with tank tops or t-shirts that had a scoop neck so that my port was not under my clothes. I then wore a zip up sweater or hoodie to keep warm. The other thing that I brought with me was a quilt. Something to keep me warm that was from home, it just made me feel a bit more comfortable and that was a little less sterile than the whole chemo room.

I just wear what's comfy and always bring my blanket.

I wore comfy clothes.  Scoop neck so port was able to be accessed. Sweater if I got cold. But, if I was really cold and the heated seat wasn't enough the onco nurses would get me a warm blanket. That helps.

Always wore what I normally wore.  Keep everything as close to 'norm' as possible.

'Yoga pants'  - no way for ME!  Does not fit into my life - jeans do/did.

Every facility is different.  If you are cold, they should give up warmed blankets and,/or put you in an area/room where the temp will be controled for YOU.  A SE of chemo can be lowering temp.

comfy clothes, shirt that pulls down easily for port access, easy pants to come off, because you will go to the bathroom with the thing that holds the IV bags.  I never want to fuss too much as I'm scared the tubing will hit the potty or sink or some other germy place.  I want in and out quickly.  I also wear slip off shoes, and bring icepacks for my feet during taxetere.  Put on socks and ice my toes and bottoms of my feet.  Sleep mask, ear plugs, snacks, water, ice for mouth during Taxetere, comfy blanket and then I use theirs if I'm still cold.
