Refused a massage

[AlPaccacino]

In Corfu currently and booked a full body massage at the hotel, as a treat.

First shock was the rugby player sized beardy bloke waiting for me, but whatever. I can deal with that but it would’ve been nice to have a warning about opposite sex treatments.

Then I had to fill in the medical form. And he refused as I had cancer 13 years ago. Apparently it’s a Greek thing, that he’s not allowed to Which I checked afterwards and it was a total fib.

I’ve had loads of massages since cancer and no one has ever said a thing, and I’ve had physiotherapy massages on my knees and hips as well.

I think he just decided for whatever reason (scars maybe?) he didn’t want to do it.

AIBU when writing my trip advisor report, to drop them a star for this?

Sorry, only just seen your message. I think the thought was that you could break a bit of the tumour off and it would move around the body and settle somewhere else. I don't believe this is still considered to be the case. To be fair my training was 22 years ago.

Certainly when my oncologist was explaining why she wanted to do chemo before surgery it was to do with making sure it was working and therefore "mopping up" any cells that had broken off and were trying to settle elsewhere - I had very aggressive triple negative breast cancer.
