Many people find massage therapy beneficial during cancer treatment, as it can help with relaxation, stress relief, and managing some treatment-related discomfort. It's wonderful that you're exploring supportive therapies - be sure to discuss this with your oncology team first, as they can provide guidance on timing and any precautions specific to your treatment plan.
