Acupuncture update
Hi Friends,
I thought I'd post an update about our acupuncture experience with Grant.
This is the beginning of the 4th week and he has had 7 treatments so far.
The only change we've seen in his counts are an increase in his ANC which is great. It has risen steadily from 1000 up to 1300 during this period. Unfortunately I can't really see any improvement in platelets or hgb yet. It has been a positive experience though and he says he does not feel the needles at all on his back and only the faintest prick other spots. Certainly nothing compared to the needle sticks he's had in his life. When his platelets are in the single digits, occasionally one of the spots may leave a little red dot.
I would love to hear from others who have taken this path.
Wendy/mom to Grant- almost 15 years old!
