Sounds like the massage therapist is going through some shit and could use some empathy. Massage therapists have a hard job. They require their bodies for their living and when they struggle with health issues, it’s awful for them. They often have to provide their own health insurance, rent space, pay for liability insurance, etc. in addition to all of the other expenses adults have, so if they struggle to work they can fall into a major financial hole.
Doesn’t mean OP shouldn’t find a new massage therapist, but whatever’s “mildly infuriating” for OP, is undoubtedly majorly infuriating at best (for the MT) and completely devastating at worst.

What, exactly, is this person cancelling? A haircut? A surgery? Context, please.
