I had a mastectomy 2 months ago for a second primary cancer in my left breast
SNB was clear and I am taking letrozole
Is there any contra indications for me to have a back and shoulder massage?
I think it would help with tension and for general relaxation?
Thanks Sue
Hi Sue,
I had a mastectomy in 2019 and have had regular back/shoulder massages since then with no issue. Some massage therapists are trained in oncology massage, but I’ve had both and not noticed any difference. It is great for relaxation and tension relief. Hope this helps.
