REFLEXOLOGY

FOR
MANAGEMENT OF LYMPHOEDEMA AFTER BREAST CANCER

In the hope of reducing my swollen left arm
A result of having breast cancer
It led me to look for help, without harm
Reflexology could be the answer

I’ll recline and relax while pressure techniques
Are applied with fingers and thumb
They’re gentle and firm, with a few twists and tweaks
Encouraging lymphatic outcome

By ridding the body of toxic production
More energy’s enabled to flow
Aiming towards lymphoedema reduction
Whilst improving self image also

The whole body’s system, organs and glands
Can all be mapped out on the feet
Not only that, but the ears and the hands
Are alternative areas to treat

Sometimes when crystal deposits are felt
They do show some clear indication
Of a malfunction that can now be helped
By this touching technique application

It’s hoped reflexology will benefit those
With Lymphoedema effects
Who would have thought, to manipulate toes
Could correct the body’s defects

I’m ashamed of my bunions and misshapen feet
With thickened and lengthy toenails
I’m no longer nimble, nor retired athlete
So I’ll spare you more pedicure details

Known as a complement to cancer care
By reducing the stress and fatigue
While helping the body to heal and repair
It’s a therapy full of intrigue

Reflexology Poem ~ by S.Davies, Cardiff

Tenovus Write with Us groups are weekly creative writing groups for people living with cancer. You don’t need any experience in writing to join, just come along and give it a go.Our Write with Us groups are based in Cardiff and Caerphilly. We welcome anyone with any level of writing skill and an interest in creative writing. The sessions will be run by trained facilitators who will guide you through individual and group activities. 
The project started because we believe that writing can be a great way of improving your wellbeing, of expressing yourself and a fun way to spend an evening! In 2012 we ran a pilot Write with Us group, which was so successful we want to offer it to even more people. The group even created their own book called 'In Our Own Words'.
Being part of the Tenovus ‘Write With Us’ pilot group, certainly played a huge part in giving me the incentive to write both my books
