Hi lucy51
have you tried your local cancer support centre? They sometimes offer complimentary therapies including massage. My local centre gives first 6 sessions free then you pay - but the cost is half that of a commercial therapist. I’ve been having reflexology on a regular basis and it’s been great.
if you don’t like the idea of going to the cancer support centre then maybe ask the masseuse on the phone before you book if they are experienced in post surgery massage. (You can always then hang up if you get upset - always worked for me!)
never be embarrassed about getting upset - it’s a huge thing that you have been through physically and mentally - you need to let that out as that can be a therapy in itself (although maybe not complimentary!)
now go an treat yourself to that massage!

Hi Lucy,
This site gives a pretty good overview of treatments, what to expect and the research (although it is US based): www.breastcancer.org/treatment/comp_med/types/aromatherapy
