Massage and CLL

[Richu097]

Sorry for weird question but I am new to this, my family member is suffering from CLL, Can CLL patient allowed to take full body massage or does it have some side affects, I am thinking of booking the appointment.

Thanks

I’ve had CLL for almost 10 years. I get massage pretty often. I’m on medication and my white blood cell count is completely normal.

Yes definitely! I got them regularly and they really helped my aches and pains.

Yes, I get massages all the time. Both before and after treatment. When my lymph glands were quite swollen I did ask the therapist to avoid pressure and only use a light sweeping movement over the area (neck). I just did not like the feel of of them being pressed - not a statement on it being harmful or beneficial.
