    They actually had a report
    They actually had a report on ABC news about acupuncture and cancer patients. It stated how cancer patients were relieved of many side effects of chemo by doing acupuncture. Some cancer centers are actually having patients treated before they go home after an infusion. I would certainly think it was worth a try. I wish I would have known about this when I was going through treatments. It might have helped me to not feel so sick. Hugs, Lili
