Hi @annsan the massage I had was just a relaxation not remedial or deep tissue. Very gentle. My oncologist suggested finding a oncology massage therapist. I did have to find a position that was comfortable due to the port and scar. I had the massage when chemo finished and before radiation started which I am now 5 / 20 fractions through. The massage was so nice. During treatment-sitting alot and not doing any activity my posture became so bad from tension and stress related to it all.
Maybe ask your oncologist. I have worked out this a well trodden path and there are many services and support. There are a few places around Brisbane that offer a kind of 'BC treatment recovery' service with access to multiple services such as physio, nutrition advice, counselling etc. I hope the beginning of treatment goes well. xxxooo
