We had an acupuncturist on staff in our cancer center. She was very well trained (must seek this out because many are not well trained-look at this link to find a nationally certified practitioner
http://www.nccaom.org/find-a-nccaom-...d-practitioner ). She was excellent and we used her services for a multitude of symptoms from nausea, pain, bowel dysfunction, stress, etc. I was not a supporter when she was first hired thinking it was not a valid treatment but she proved me wrong. Best wishes.
