Guest guest Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Doc, After reading your article, Handling Breast Problems, I have some questions: I am very interested in some of these ideas...I haven't worn a bra in years and I know rebounding and excercise is most important. The questions I have are concerning the hot and cold hydrotherapy and the chinese breast massage. I am intrigued and would like to learn more, but also a bit confused. Can someone help me to set the record straight...is it good or bad to rub/massage/stimulate/disturb cancerous breast lumps (whatever you want to call it)???? I have heard such conflicting information about this. It seems that after I allowed a massage therapist to do some lymph massage on and near my original lump and then had chinese cupping therapy over my breast and original lump that was when I started to notice more lumps forming around the one original lump I had. But it does make sense to either stimulate the immune system and bring the body's awarness to the problem area either by the mentioned hot/cold shower therapy or to help stimulate the proper lymph flow to carry this problem out with the massage. Has anyone tried the hot and cold wa= ter therapy? It sounds almost unbearably cold and shocking to the system...but I would be willing to try it if needed. Any ideas out there? Thank You!

I do not believe in NOT wearing a bra either as I believe its good for your breasts to keep upheld (for looks anywaY) to a point and dont want my nipples showing through shirts Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 As far as standard massage goes (ie chinese/japanese) there is no evidence to support that it " spreads " cancer. This has been a concern in my field (Shiatsu) for a long time and a lot of research has been done in the field of massage therapy and cancer. This being said, we always tell people that it is their call and try and encourge them to read as much as possible themselves. That being said, we do avoid direct pressure/ stimualtion (except perhaps general circular) stimulation of " cancerous lumps " . We also prefer to have the aproval of the doctor as well just to be on the safe side. Stimulating the immune system does not mean working one specific area but rather the wholebody. As far as cupping goes, I have never heard of that on that type of problem. Intresting. Thats something I would (and will) check into.
