Lucille Eddy, Jean Taczak and I all work at https://www.facebook.com/281137592034 The Teal Center For Therapeutic Bodywork, Ltd.'s Virginia Hospital location, where all therapists have oncology training. We offer a discount to clients undergoing treatment. Another excellent resource is the Society for Oncology Massage. You can search for therapists by location. There are many in D.C. http://s4 om.org/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=usersList&listid=8&searchmode=1
