There are basically four critical elements of Massage Therapy protocol for people under cancer treatment. And among these, the first protocol points out the need of obtaining the physician's permission. Only the patient's doctor has the authority to clear him/her for a health massage therapy. This is to avoid the possibility of the spreading of the cancer. Also, regular massage therapy performed by a generally licensed massage therapist and without additional specialized education in cancer is considered to be a contraindication for cancer patients.

Everything an individual does affects them; good or bad. To support a Chemo patient means to be there through the good and bad times they may have. Chemo (depending on how much Chemo they will be getting and the length of time) can leave the person feeling sick to their stomach; weak; sometimes depressed and in some cases the loss of hair; perhaps eyebrows and eyelashes can cause further depression.
