Having had cancer 4 times and a total of 21 chemo sessions and been on H&P targeted therapy for 6 years, I feel it shows on my face and aged me. I was given a Nu-face micro-current face firming thing for Xmas and whilst I’m full of gratitude that I’m alive, I still care about how I look. Is it safe to use micro-current or should I send it back? My last 4 monthly pet ct reported no evidence of active disease. Xx
Hi Deni1960
Thank you for your question.
This sounds like a difficult time for you, and it is understandable you want to do what you can to feel better about yourself after all your treatment. It is good news your last PET-CT scan showed no active disease.
It is not possible for us to say whether the Nu-face device is safe for you to use but you could ask your treatment team.
