Irishrose2, hope you will not need chemo. If you have radiation, it takes more time for you to disrobe and dress afterward than to get settled for the radiation. I scheduled radiation at 8:15 a.m. and enjoyed the rest of the day to do whatever I wanted to do. My thoughts are with you.

Here's an option. No zipper; just velcro at the shoulder.

My best friend will start chemo next week, and she has asked me to put zippers in the front of her shirt for easier port access. I have googled and searched, and cannot find a tutorial. This picture is what she has in mind. Will it work to just slit the shirt and put in the zippers? Do I need to finish the edges of the shirt where I cut it?

That is a perfect shirt for port-a-cath access. After accessing patients' ports for over 20 years, you'd think I had already seen this somewhere. But nope, now that I've retired, this shirt come to light. Wish I'd have thought of it. You're a great friend to do this for her. Thank you.
