You are correct, people just don't know what to say.
Yes my treatment is at UVM Medical Center of VT
Acupuncture definitely helps with nausea. Pain wise, tramadol is what really helps with no
side effects. I feel the acupuncture is just good for overall health
It got me through menopause, not even one night sweat, very few hot flashes.

@ford1929 @ford1929 I'd never thought about getting acupuncture for menopause and certainly had the night sweats and hot flashes during the day. Other members here in our support group have shared that acupuncture helped them with nausea.

I know the UVM Medical Center well. I lived in Burlington in the 1990's off of Colchester Avenue and within walking distance of the medical center. I had good care there. I expect that the medical college and medical center has greatly changed and expanded since then. Anyway, it's great that you live close enough to make these trips for chemotherapy.

Is there someone who supports you on these trips to Burlington and at home?
