My name is Candy Rose-Lucas and I am a licensed
massage therapist located in Westerville, Ohio and serve the
greater Columbus, Ohio area. I provide compassionate and nurturing
therapies for cancer patients. Comfort and safety is always my
goal.
Cancer can challenge patients on many levels,
physical, emotional and body image. Massage can help to decrease
stress, anxiety, depression, and fatigue. It can improve sleep,
reduce pain and reduce the need for pain medication, as well
as decrease symptoms related to chemotherapy. Massage can soothe
the soul.
Being a cancer survivor myself (I have been
cancer free since 1997), I can relate to the ups and downs, the
roller coaster of emotions that one goes through. I know support
of family, friends and touch that is nurturing can make a difference
in how cancer affects you.
Cancer has touched my life personally, not
only for me, but the lives of dear friends. For this reason I
decided to specialize in Oncology massage (Massage therapy for
people living with cancer). I have traveled extensively throughout
the United States from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
in New York City to the Oregon Health and Science University
Hospital in Portland, Oregon to receive my training. Please see
my complete list of credentials on the cancer massage page.
