@lillyanne @artscaping @lioness Cancer might be a deal breaker for MFR (myofascial release) because if there are cancer cells in the tissue that is being released, it may mobilize them and help cancer spread in your body. Put that question to an MFR therapist or a doctor who understands MFR, but that is what my MFR therapist has said previously. That is a choice that should be made with information from your doctor and if that is right for your health status. Lillyanne, I'm sorry you are going through all of this. I don't have any personal experience with cancer except for seeing a relative battling cancer and eventually it took her life. She was in a lot of pain, and a visiting nurse would give her injections for the pain. Cancer pain may not be helped with MFR. If the cancer is putting pressure on a nerve because a mass is growing, MFR probably would not change that. MFR is good for getting the body moving again as it should be moving and un-sticking the muscles that can get glued together. There was just a story about Olivia Newton-John on CBS Sunday morning about her stage 4 cancer, and her husband is growing cannabis on their property in California to be used to treat her pain which she said helps a lot. I have no experience with that either, but just wanted to pass on the information.
