breast cancer patients receiving radiation therapy. The treatments being studied are
Polarity Therapy and Massage Therapy.

health-related quality of life in breast cancer patients receiving radiation treatments.
This is a randomized three-arm clinical trial of an intervention examining the efficacy of Polarity Therapy for the relief of fatigue associated with radiation treatments in breast cancer patients. Patients who meets the eligibility criteria and who have signed the consent form will be randomized to one of three trial arms: 1) Polarity Treatment 2) Massage treatment 3) Standard Care. Three treatments will be administered in the 4th, 5th, and 6th calendar weeks of radiation treatment. There will be weekly blood draws to assess cytokine levels. In addition, 6 saliva samples will be gathered per day for 2 days during each of the 4 study weeks to assess cortisol levels. Saliva samples will be completed by the participant at home. An actigraph will be worn for the 28 day study period to assess activity and sleep. Patients randomized to the Standard Care Arm will receive a Polarity or Massage treatment gratis following the completion of the study. ;
