Remedial Massage with a Portacath

I am lucky enough to live on the Sunshine Coast , and a wonderful organisation called Bloomhills is available for cancer patients. They specifically offer remedial massage for cancer patients. When I asked I was told that a “normal” Remedial massage is not recommended for cancer patients in early days , and that it needs to be gentle.  Do check with your oncologist as to the degree of pressure they should be applying. Most masseurs I’ve used in past applied pressure that’s now not actually good for me as I sit here on chemo first, Then surgery Treatment down the track .
