Remedial Massage with a Portacath

Just wondering if anyone here has any knowledge about having a remedial massage with a portacath. I am very tight across my upper back/shoulders and getting mild headaches. I don't have lymphoedema thank goodness. I am on Herceptin and Letrozole and am not sure if they could be causing the headaches. It has occurred to me that a massage to loosen things up may give an answer and make me feel a whole lot better. Do any of you lovely ladies know if it would be safe and do you know if using a sports orientated massage therapist would be ok? I am starting to feel a little grumpy and fed up.

Perhaps aim for a business from whom you can claim a health fund refund (even if you don't have a insurance) as you are more likely to find someone is is both qualified and sensible. Ask your breast care nurse for a recommendation--even if it's only advice about where she wouldn't go.
i had a delicious massage from a qualified practitioner who used a warm cup across my chest, carefully avoiding the port itself-- I could literally feel my neck relaxing. No force, no pressure, just lovely. Mxx
