How horrible for the VA to deny acupuncture treatment for you. I’m sorry you’re going through extra hoops, but know you’ll prevail as truth is on your side, as well as your oncologist and acupuncturist.

AI: There is currently NO evidence to suggest that acupuncture causes "remetastasis" of cancer. In fact, acupuncture is often used as a complementary therapy to help manage cancer-related symptoms and improve quality of life for patients.

Here are 2 sources AI used to determine that response. National Cancer Institute and MD Anderson. There should be studies available online from both organizations used to determine that acupuncture has proven to be effective.

I wish you the best and immediate access to all effective care.
