Thermal Hot Springs and Massage Treatments
Well its over a year since I finished Chemo, Radiation and Surgery. We are now SKIing, my first trip to Europe. It now seems that once you have had cancer no health centre will do any Beauty Treatment...
How odd! I went to thermal springs and still do. The only person I asked about it was my lymphoedema therapist as I knew heat was a potential problem. No difficulty, just keep my affected arm out of hot water - literally. As I get my arm massaged regularly, it would concern me if I thought massage spread cancer but I don’t. Many health centres are hyper vigilant about people with any prior health record, often wanting letters from doctors. They just don’t want to be blamed for anything! A doctor’s letter may help. Best wishes.
