Hi Danny:

I heard this at a recent SPOHNC meeting here in Boston too with the caveat that it is preferred that the person be a licensed MD as well who is accustomed to navigating around post-op and radiated necks. In short, I think this is an evolving complimentary therapy but the practitioner needs to be carefully checked out (and are the needles sterile???) before giving it a whirl(or a stick as the case may be).

Hey, today when I went with Dave to radiation there was a musician playing a harp in the waiting area which I thought was really soothing. This was second only to the following announcement after someone lit up in the ladies' room:

"There will be no smoking in the radiation oncology waiting area".

I'm adding that one to the novel Dave and I are writing. Every day is a new adventure!

Cheers,

Kim
