Contrary to popular belief, massage is fine. However, most masseurs stay away from the areas affected foe pain, injury etc reasons.

Hello and thanks for your post

I can understand that complimentary treatment such as having a massage can really help with relaxation and emotional wellbeing.

Cancer specialists and complementary therapists usually advise cancer patients to try gentle massage and avoid vigorous, deep tissue massage.

This is explained more on our website and there is information about having a massage which you can see here. Macmillan Cancer Support has some further information at this link. 

I hope this helps. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene
