Chemotherapy and infusion care usually means many visits. Over time, what you wear can become one familiar part of a routine that otherwise asks a lot of you.
Think About Access First
Ask your care team where they will need to reach, particularly if you have a port or a line. That answer tells you more than anything else about what to wear.
Gowns to Consider
- The GIV Motion has releasable seams across the tops of the shoulders and sleeves. It can suit upper-chest port care when the opening fits your site.
- The GIV Forward closes down the front with magnets or snaps. The care team can release one fastener at a time, and the back stays covered.
- For children, GIV Kids offers shoulder and overlapping back closures for repeat care, with designs a child can choose.
Giving One to Someone You Love
If you are looking for something to give a person in treatment, a gown she will use at every appointment is a meaningful place to start. See GIV a Gown.
Your clinical team has the final say on what works for your treatment. Bring your gown, show them how it opens, and follow their guidance.
