Does anyone know if it is ok to have a Swedish Massage or head and neck massage when you have been treated for neck cancer 3 years previously?

Vinod I wonder about this as I want to book a massage at an hotel I will be at in May which has a spa facility. I have read that there can be problems with lymph draimage and massage. Would you say that in my case this is probably now ok.

Hello Pauline

I would think it would be safe in your case, only do you good. More information here.

Have a good holiday (and massage).

Best wishes

Thanks Vinod. I have been wondering about it. So far just booked a pedicure and manicure, but intend to pamper myself, may even try the hot stone treatment. But glad I now have the option to go for the massage.
