I wore a long sleeve flannel shirt, and could button it around the port tubing, if it seemed too low. Or one of the hubs v-cut t-shirts, and my zip up hoodie. The nurses have seen everything- as long as you are comfy, they will make it work! Hugs!

You should wear whatever you are comfortable in. I had chemo over the winter, and was always cold. I usually wore leggings and a fleece, quarter zip top. They no problem getting to my port to access it.
Wishing you well!

Yes, you can wear long sleeves during chemotherapy, but it's recommended to choose tops that allow easy access to your chemo port. A zip-up hoodie or a V-neck shirt is ideal for this purpose. These options make it easier for your care team to reach the port without discomfort. For more tips, visit url: https://www.mybcteam. Show Full Answer
