I was first drawn to oncology massage because it meant that I could help people with a cancer diagnosis. Both my parents passed away from cancer and I saw oncology massage as a great opportunity to give back to others. 

I had Mohs surgery on my face for skin cancer in 2016, 30 years after my mother was first diagnosed with breast cancer. After my skin cancer operation, I tried to find information on how to care for my scar, but couldn’t find anyone locally who felt confident enough to provide care.

I was just told that: 

the swelling would go away - eventually, and 

the scar would fade - eventually.
