Hi guys, first post so please be gentle, today been diagnosed with grade 3 triple neg breast cancer, starting chemo in a couple of weeks, already had a break away booked this weekend but not sure if i should use the sauna and hot tub, i know it should be the last thing on my mind just now but being on auto pilot seems to be the only way i can process this just now.

Any help would be appreciated

    Hi Sweetheart241

    Enjoy your break away! I have metastatic ovarian cancer, first diagnosed in 2019. In 2021, I began a clinical trial for the whole year. I was on the clinical trial drug and chemo, and side effects were pretty bad at that time. I dipped into cold sea water followed by far infrared sauna ( my partner had it that time) session, which helped dealing with side effects. Sauna and hot tub sometimes makes me feel a bit tired afterwards, so I always monitor how I feel. If not sure, always good to have a chat with your oncologist or even your support nurse. Enjoy every moments!
