Dear Maria
So sorry you have to go through this. Be positive and try whatever you think will work for your body. We all react differently to treatments
I have found acupuncture works great for me. No nausea, on the 4th day after treatment I get neuropathy leg pain. But it’s manageable. I walk every day
My third Carbo-Plaxi chemo treatment is Monday and I’m going to try 2 acupuncture treatments that week. One the day after chemo and then on the 4th day to see if that will help with the leg pain. I wear light compression stockings daily. You may ask about taking gabapentin fir the leg pain also
Good Luck ❤️

@ford1929 some people do Reiki sessions 2 days before chemo and find it helpful. Among other effects, it reduces anxiety.
