Treating a client with cancer

[Ann]

Hello,

I have been asked if I could give reflexology to a client's daughter who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Her oncologist is agreeable and her first chemo is today.

So far in my reflexology career, I have never given reflexology to someone with cancer so just have a few questions. I'm fine about giving the actual treatment but wondered if there was a more suitable time to give it, eg. should we wait for a few days after the chemo? What might her likely reaction be that could be different to a healing crisis that many experience? Anything else I should be aware of?

Many thanks
Sx
