Chemotherapy, It’s In the Small Things


When a patient is ill with cancer, one of the treatment options is chemotherapy. This treatment can take hours to perform and the patient can feel very sick during and afterwards. There is a way to help these patients stay comfortable.  Libreclothing.com is a clothing line designed especially for chemotherapy patients and others who have to receive treatments via IV in various parts of the body. The goal of this company is to give all patients a warm and comfortable time while receiving chemotherapy treatments.   If you get chemotherapy in your arm, there are shirts and jackets to choose from that have zippers for the IV to fit.  If you have chemotherapy in the chest or legs, there are options for these as well.  With an easy to use zipper and stylish colors, chemotherapy patients have an option to improve their discomfort. 
Hospitals and clinics are always kept cold in order to minimize the bacteria growth and this can make sitting still for a patient difficult.  Patients can get cold during their treatments yet blankets don’t cover the entire body when there is a chemotherapy IV in a body part.  The chemotherapy treatments can take hours of sitting still and the body can get very cold during this time.  This line of clothing focuses on an issue that plagues patients everywhere yet it is unavoidable if they want to receive their treatments. This small improvement in their clothing can make even their chemotherapy treatment days a little bit more comfortable.
