The doctors note would be for areas impacted by the radiation and/or surgery. Most massage therapists would want to be safe there.
According to my doctor laptops are the worst for ergonomics. I have seen some use a standard USB keyboards in lieu of the built in "chicklet" keyboard. Also using a mouse doesn't help much either (hard on the rotator cuff). I switched over to a trackball years ago - even for the laptop.
I also always use a headset when using the telephone and a bluetooth earpiece or speakerphone when using the cell.
