    its so good that reflexology has helped your non cancer numbness. I am just grateful I have found a good quality place to my massage and that feel so good.

    The onsen bath also sounds interesting.

    maybe relflexology for numbness could be the key and not the lymphatic drainage, I got both at the same time. I am keen to try the cupping and will take your advice re nausea and weakness. I have both at the moment.

    Pete,
    Do you suffer from lymphedema?

    Graci,
    "Blake I don't see where we have all the access as other countries. If we do we don't get it paid for with our insurance, it is out of pocket and unless you find a modern and not God-like Onc he won't even allow you a cup of tea a day?"

    Insurance, even National Health in other countries, does not pay for alternative treatments.

    Pete pays out of pocket for these things, just like you or I would. The care he has access to is the same as ours.

    No oncologist is god-like, we choose to listen to them or to go our own way. I read your experience, and your guy should be disbarred! Mine saw me once a week throughout treatment. Even 2beHealed has an oncologist. I am sorry you have had so many bad experiences.

    Your friend,

    Blake

    luckily no, and i hope i don't
    thanks for asking, i don't think so, but i felt i was carrying some fluid around my gut mainly.
    it all seems to have gone with the walking, diarrhea and maybe even the massage.

    had another great lymphatic drainage massage today
    same result with my feet and the reflexology, probably even more pronounced.

    one interesting question came during the massage, is the numbess and pins and needles presenting in my feet a reflection of the bodies organs being damaged by oxi ?

    they almost feel normal. Its a shame as now I cannot dance with my wife, as if she
    stands on my toes it will hurt. LOL

    found this simple to follow explanation of the lymphatic system

    alos did the cupping and they were incredibly relaxing, so in itself a good therapy from my experience.

    also had lymph nodes around neck and jaw drained and this relieved the pain I had there.
