Hope this is ok to post. I’ve recently been diagnosed and awaiting my operation date. But I have a bad back and have been unable to go and see the lady who fixes me monthly due to having COVID a while back and now this. I haVe been told by having a deep tissue massage to elevate pain it can cause the cancer to spread, does anyone know if this is true? I’m desperate to get this sorted, it’s been four months since I’ve been and today I’ve put it out quite badly.
