I read Jomama's memorial day post and I want to have fun this weekend and feel normal once again. So that said I have a question. Are hot tubs safe for BC patients? I asked my onc and she said it was o.k. as long as it wasn't the day of Chemo. But I'm still not sure. I would really like to use our hot tub this weekend but I am afraid that it will aggrevate my tumor ( I haven't had surgery yet). Thanks for your imput much love surf

if my onc said it was alright,I would just do it and enjoy myself!
Thanks outdoor girl maybe I will. I've just reread my post and have come to the conclusion that I can't spell. Love Surf -
Hope You're Enjoying That Hot Tub
Hi, Surf, I don't know anything about hot tubs, but I second Patty's view: if your onc says it's OK, I would go ahead and enjoy the experience. You deserve to have a relaxing, fun weekend and just be normal.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday weekend, hot tub and all. -

Didn't even think about thatmmontero38 said:Don't go in if the water is
Don't go in if the water is too hot. If you read Re's post on lymphedema, one of the things they state as a no-no are hot tubs. If the water temp is luke warm then you shouldn't have a problem. Hugs, Lili
Thanks Lily!Oh,but she did say that she hasn't had surgery yet-so she's okay!
