During treatment my husband refrained from using a sauna. We are at a hotel tonight and wondering if it is ok to use a sauna 2 months post treatment. Don't know if it would be benefical for problems he is having with lymphedemia? Or would it be harmful. We have one it our home and uncertain about continuing its use. Is cold or heat bad on one's neck when there is the fluid build-up from the neck disection?
