I have just finished chemo, 2 weeks ago, I start RT ON 11TH March. I want to get away for a couple of days maybe a week, hopefully to a spa or somewhere similar. All the spas I contacted wont touch me with a barge pole!
Makes me feel like a leper!
All I want to do is get away, relax and be pampered for a little while.
I can’t see any reason why I won’t be able to join you. It is perfect timing, I have my reconstruction surgery in November it will be just what I need. x
I been okayed by Cedar Falls in Somerset but can only have manicure, pedicure and Clarins prescription facial. But the place, the atmosphere, the pampering & around the pool with a good book are worth it. Just can’t actually really afford it at mo.!
There’s also a place in Bristol (google it?) called Penny Brohms or something similar but that’s not a personal recommendation - just something I saw!
Also Cancer Haven in Fulham SW19 but you’d have to stay somewhere off-site.
I’m sure people who actually know these places will comment on their appropriateness nor not now!
Hiya, I had massage throughout chemo and my ONC gave me a letter to present to anyone who wanted to see it. I finished chemo in November and 3 weeks later went away and had some treatments, they were fine, once I had showed them the letter. Worth a try???
Anna, I live near Cedar Falls and a friend of mine is a therapist there - in fact I see her very regularly for reflexology and reiki at her own home. I will ask her if there’s any flexibility on the treatment availabilities if you have an onc’s letter.
