Since I see many cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy, as well as surgery, in my own Pasadena private practice, and at the Roy and Patricia Disney Cancer Center in Burbank, I am often asked, what can Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine do for cancer patients?
My response is typically we can promote a sense of well being and quality of life, boost the immunity system, and treat naturally the signs and symptoms of those undergoing conventional treatment and their side effects, including:
Anxiety, as Cancer patients are often plagued with doubt
Constipation or Diarrhea, as chemo and radiation will upset the intestinal flora

The advantage is huge – offering patients to empower themselves in their treatment, treating side effects without additional drugs, and overall, giving them a better quality of life.
