Massaging for relief

HopeHeal

Is it dangerous (cause mets) to rub some oil on or just massage a breast still containing a malignant mass? I also have a biopsy hematoma there that has been aching at night (unless it's the lump growing) but has felt better after the hot water and manipulation of a shower. It probably helped it drain a little.

I don’t know about any dangers in general regarding massaging oil into a hematoma but I am fairly certain that that is not something that would cause mets. HopeHeal, I know you are worried and that is understandable but try to focus on what you know as fact with respect to your bc. Try not to project too far down the road and try not think that every ache, pain, bump or bruise is cancer. Take care.

My treatment hasn't started yet so the cancer is still in the breast. I just changed my profile to reflect such.
