My father went through chemo and while he was going through it, we as a family always wanted to do something with his clothing and developed a jacket which can help him. More information can be found at thermaissance.com/

I hope this will help you as well

Just loose fitting comfortable clothes, and, as Nitika said, tops with buttons or a zipper. It helps to have loose fitting sleeves, or short sleeves, also, in case, for any reason the nurses have to access a vein in the arm. I always wore layers, as my infusion room was usually too cold or too warm.
