My wife is thinking about going to acupuncture for chemo-brain. Have you had any experience with it and how was it?
Any good ones around Seattle?

I did accupuncture during tx and found it tremendously helped my energy level. Accupncture also helped afterwards with my frozen shoulder. As far as the chemo brain, I am not sure accupuncture changed a thing. Other than the afore mentioned items, I didn't find accuncture to help at all. I love the principle's of accuncture but the reality is I don't think it works for all under each circumstance. It is certainly worth a shot.
