POST CANCER

 My secretary informed me that a patient was on the phone who needed an appointment for Bowen therapy.  She was referred by her neurologist, whom I'd never heard of.  Since her only problem was neck pain, my secretary wanted to know if I could see her or not.  I said absolutely not, especially since I didn't know the patient nor the referral source.  At that point I didn't possess a massage certificate, so I really couldn't wander outside the scope of my Podiatry  practice.  The next day the lady called back and said, she'd spoken to her neurologist and he insisted that she have Bowen treatments.  And, that I was the only person he wanted to touch her. I gave in, and had my receptionist make her an appointment. 

When she came for her appointment we had her sign a waiver that she was fully aware that I was not working as a Podiatrist, but only as a Bowen therapist. As it turned out, she had  been going through radiation therapy for breast cancer.  She'd had a radical mastectomy with lymph node  removal.  This had left her with a stiff and painful neck.  She was scheduled for a C.T. scan in four weeks to monitor some palpable lymph nodes, so she could only have three weekly treatments.  Following which, she would return about a month later for the fourth Bowen treatment after the scan and results were determined, to see if she may need additional surgery for the palpable nodes.  After her 1st treatment her range of motion improved about 50%.  Following the 2nd treatment her range of motion was about 80 %.  After the 3rd session her neck moved pain free in all directions.  

When she returned four weeks later she was beaming from ear to ear.  Her C.T. scan for the lymph nodes was completely normal.  I can't make any conjecture on what transpired other than a spontaneous remission must have occurred.  She thought otherwise.
