Intergrated medicine ideas

[kri312]

I am meeting with an integrative medicine specialist 12/7. I would love to hear some things people have been told to take (and not take) that have helped to possibly discuss with her!

Hello kri312

I have added below some websites that contain information on integrated medicine and complementary and alternative therapies.

If you are currently under treatment it is very important to make your oncology team aware of any additional therapies or medications that you are taking as they can have interactions with medication that you are already taking.

If you have any questions or would like to speak to someone you can call ask the nurse on 0800 358 7200 Monday to Thursday 0900-1600 and Friday 0900-1700, alternatively you can email us at [e-mail]

Kind regards

I’ve been reading about “Thuja occidentalis - homeopathy for ovarian mass”, and will discuss w my Onco at my next appt.

Ps- I had radiation for psoas muscle tumor in August which resulted in some shrinkage. I am currently not on chemo nor immunotherapy.

I went to see an integrative doctor at the complimentary medicine department, which is part of the cancer centre I'm being treated at. The doctor did assessment and prescribed homeopathy to be taken alongside chemotherapy. Also recommended acupuncture.I can't say if it works or not as I've only just begun, but I am open to anything that's remotely proven effective- this is the reason I chose to see a specialist within the cancer centre and not elsewhere.

Did they recommend certain supplements as part of homeopathy? Hope the accupunture helps!

[555Violet555 in reply to kri312]

Not yet, but they will do this assessment at my appointment next week

[kri312 in reply to 555Violet555]

[555Violet555 in reply to kri312]

I'll report back after the appointment!

[555Violet555]
