I started acupuncture after my first round or chemo. It helped me through both chemo and radiation and now helps with the side effexts not only of the hormone therapy but also helps with the psychological side effects. Even if insurance doesn't cover it , it is worth every penny

i have been seeing my acupuncturist regularly since my diagnosis and he has aided in my recovery time and the pain i am still experiencing after the exchange. i'm on tamoxifen which is not really agreeing with me either...

@A MyBCTeam Member I'm on Aromasin (exemestane). I had my ovaries removed in May to throw me into menopause so I could take it. I've been having stiff, achy joints and my fingers are swollen. I try to walk every day, see a massage therapist once a month and take Aleve when I need it.

I had acupuncture for my neuropathy. It helped. Some of the neuropathy is back but it's from my carpal time not the taxol.

I'm sure acupuncture would be of benefit. .. no harm to give it a try. . I will be interested to see how you do on the aromitase inhibitor...which one is it??
I haven't gotten there yet but presuming they will put me on one since I'm post menopausal.
