\"WomanA little while back, I shared a story about a patient with pancreatic cancer<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0 It has now been almost a year since she was diagnosed, and she made the decision to treat with conventional medicine in the form of chemotherapy. She also decided to supplement her treatments with acupuncture and nutritional therapy.<\/p>\n

I worked in conjunction with her Western medical doctors while she underwent chemotherapy. I treated her twice weekly to alleviate the side effects of the chemotherapy. Between her chemotherapy sessions, I continued to treat her bi-weekly to boost her immune system and build up her energy levels so she could survive the next round of treatment. Together, we worked through a full range of symptoms as they presented along with her journey through chemotherapy infusions, including all of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
