Undergoing chemotherapy is a life-changing journey, marked by both physical and emotional challenges. For those with a chemo port, even the simplest daily activities, like driving or riding in a car, can become sources of discomfort or pain. That’s where the port pillow steps in—a small but mighty tool designed to protect and comfort, and the inspiration behind Beyond Basic Needs chemo care kits.

What is a Port Pillow?
A port pillow is a cushion designed specifically to shield the chemo port from irritation or pressure caused by a car’s seat belt. These ports are surgically implanted under the skin, often near the chest, to make the frequent administration of chemotherapy treatments easier and less invasive. While essential, the port is also a sensitive area, prone to discomfort if bumped or pressed against.

Enter the port pillow: a soft, compact cushion that attaches to the seat belt with Velcro. It forms a protective barrier, ensuring that every car ride—whether to treatment sessions, doctor’s appointments, or just a much-needed outing—is as comfortable as possible.

This is how we at Beyond Basic Needs create a port pillow for our Chemo Care Kits.
