Acupuncture

I went weekly to an acupuncturist in November and December -- first because of knee pain and later as a back up support for cancer. Doctor Wu, once she learned that I had cancer, explained that, of course, acupuncture can't treat cancer, it can help with over all immunity and elevation of some of the side effects.

Our standard one hour sessions turned into 3 hour ones, including long chats while I look like a porcupine.  I got the Japanese acupuncture (micro currents), Chines needles, moxa treatments, cupping and a horn rub with funny smelling (like eucalyptus) cream. 

Once my first chemotherapy cycle finished, I decided to renew my acupuncture visits to prep for the vicious AC chemo. However, my doctor switched practices and now is in Sudbury (30 min drive) and, of course fully booked. So I called to schedule, and again here was my luck with people. Once she hear is was me, she squeezed me in the day before my second chemo. 

So, I though if I get a hour, I will be lucky.

I got my regular porcupine treatment of three hours.  When I left, it felt as if I grown wing, not only from the treatments, but from all the genuine care way beyond what was expected.
