Cancer Patient Faces Spa Discrimination, Sparks Campaign for Change
Sindy Sidhu, diagnosed with ovarian cancer, was denied a massage at a spa due to her illness, which has led her to support efforts against misinformation regarding cancer treatments. Advocates from the Made For Life Foundation assert that many spas wrongly refuse services to cancer patients due to outdated beliefs and insurance fears. While some misunderstandings about the safety of massage for cancer patients persist, experts now highlight its potential benefits for emotional and physical health. The foundation’s ‘Tea and Therapy’ events provide support and social engagement for women facing cancer-related challenges.
