Chemo and Floating

From a website on float therapy:

"...You might need to call us to discuss whether floating is suitable for you if:

• You are in the early or late stages of pregnancy
• You have had diarrhoea within the last 14days
• You have any large open cuts/sores
• Have any sort of contagious illness
• You find it difficult to get into/out of a floor-seated position 
• Is the water changed each time?

• No, the solution is thoroughly filtered between each client for at least 20 minutes Is the water changed each time?

• If you suffer from a severe mental illness  ..."

Gosh, that's a new one @melanieg51

Containment of body fluids during chemo really is a 'thing' The drugs are nasty and can affect other people who have come in contact with them. Personally, I wouldn't want to be in a small tank of water after someone who may, or may not, be leaking cytotoxic fluids (via a variety of methods) had exited it. Nor would I be keen on getting into a body of warm water dense with other peoples detritus during chemo.

That said, I know very little about floatation tanks and what sort of risk management strategies they put in place. If it was fresh water for every 'floater' you'd think it would be OK. The business should have a policy on it and your oncologist may have an opinion too.
