@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?

@naturegirl5
Yes. My husband is with me for all my appts. He is my greatest supporter
Also, my son and his GF have been so helpful.
So what I haven't shared with everyone is my husband (@1929ford) was diagnosed with
Prostate cancer 3 yrs ago. So, some of this is not new to us.
UVM is an amazing hospital, so many expansions, especially to cancer center.
