Chemo Port PIllows for Seat Belts
Have any of you used one?
They look like an easy project that might be useful.

I couldn't get the link to work but when we were helping Sweet Son he asked for one and we figured out where the port met the belt and I just made his out of cotton and fiberfill. Sadly he lost his battle in November 2020 and my life hasn't been the same.

I'm not able to use the link. I did make a Bosom Buddy (free pattern from By Annie). Not due to surgery, but due to the size/location of the girls. Seatbelts always slid up and were nearly across my neck. This keeps it at the level/angle that it should be so is much more comfortable.
It doesn't have a lot of padding, but I'm sure you could add another couple of layers of the foam. Here is the link. You do have to sign up for an account (give your email) to get the link to the tutorial video & pattern. When I made it, I used only the pattern, but video might be nice to follow along. https://www.byannie.com/slides/free-...erns-videos-98

Some links that seem to work:
https://www.healthcare.uiowa.edu/Mar...rt_PIllows.pdf
https://createtodonate.org/how-to-ma...o-port-pillow/
The basic premise seems to be tiny pillows (4 x 6 to 5 x 9) that one can attach to a seat belt.
The main differences I could see was how "fancy" the fasteners were.
search for "Chemo port pillows" and that brings up a lot of links
