I was once a fan of massage and before my cancer, I used to have massage every weekend to ease my job tension. When I was diagnosed, I stopped doing that because I always think massaging my body may help activate other sleeping cancer cells and worsens my illness.(This is just a groundless fear).So even though I am in remission for 3 years already, I dare not go for any massage.I have asked my oncologist about this and he said there shouldn't be any problem going for a massage. So still looking forward to a day when I get my massage back. laugh
