Is Sauna During Chemotherapy Advisable?
My husband was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma 4 months ago. We are halfway through a clinical trial. His son was saying that his dad used to love going in the sauna at the gym. His son wants to install one in our basement. What is the general feeling of a cancer patient going into a sauna from time to time during chemo, and,after he goes into remission?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the clinical condition of your husband is good then he can go for sauna, respiratory system should be healthy, he should not be low in hemoglobin, else this is nothing to worry, still you need to have the oncologist opinion, hope this information may helps, take care and have a nice day.
