Re: MLD for cancer patients

[Guest guest]

I certainly agree with Fiddly that any time anyone has had

cancer, it's appropriate to consult the oncologist, radiologist, etc.

before undertaking any new regime. The disease can be too scary and

strange not to take that simple precaution.

But I can tell you, as I think I've mentioned before here, that at

our local hospitals one of the physical therapists has taken specific

training in MLD so that she can help women who have lost lymph nodes

and breast tissue to cancer. She says, and the hospital has published

in its newsletter, that MLD can help with the swelling that is so

problematic for some women.

About problems in other areas, I know not. But it wouldn't hurt to

suggest that someone ask.
