7. Acupuncture. Mayo has an Integrative Medicine program so the acupuncturist has access to my medical records, bills through Mayo, and primarily treats onco patients. It’s been very helpful in managing side effects. I’m on Letrozole and Verzenio (not an AI, but goes with it, and very hard).

On AI since last April - found acupuncture was very helpful for painful knees. In California Medi-Cal coverage for acupuncture for cancer patients was scheduled to be part of a budget cut. May be on the chopping block in the future but for now it is still covered. There was significant pushback from healthcare providers, advocates, and patients who emphasized the importance of acupuncture as a complementary therapy. They argued that acupuncture provides valuable relief for chronic pain and other conditions, potentially reducing reliance on medication. Testimony for the value of acupuncture!!!!
Does insurance cover the acupuncture

Oh, and my oncologist recommended the coconut oil too! ☺️
