I worked with a naturopathic doctor (holistic health professional) and an acupuncturist and had one to two time per week acupuncture treatments during my entire course of Folfirinox chemotherapy.
I had virtually no neuropathy, minimal fatigue,very little nausea, a few mouth sores, some diarrhea, but in general very few side effects. The doctor prescribed certain supplements that would not conflict with the chemotherapy and which I cleared with my oncologist, and acupuncture was recommended by the oncological team also and was paid for by the insurance company when received from the hospital wellness staff.
