Oh my gosh, acupuncture was my favorite thing ever for helping with chemo. I was just sharing this in another thread - I had severe nausea and migraines from treatment. I tried several meds with horrible results. Acupuncture alleviated both. It only lasted a day or two though, but any break was huge to me. I started scheduling my appointments the day after chemo to try and prevent my side effects from being as bad. It really helped. I wish that it was covered by insurance - cancer can be so expensive, can't it?! - but lots of acupuncture schools have clinics that are much cheaper, and the students are closely monitored so you are getting great care.
