A few months ago back I read in some blog someplace about this particular patient having gone to one of the medical centers in Guangzhou here in China for Gamma Knife therapy. She discussed with the doctor there about adjunctive therapy such as acupuncture. His response was absolutely not, that it was possible the acupuncture treatment would possibly stimulate any reamaining cancer cells and make them more active.
Not sure of how much truth to that there is, but somehow it makes sense.
