Accupuncture eases Breast radiation burn

Tigger51

With the consent of my RO Weekly I’ve gone for accupuncture. While it did not prevent me from getting radiation burn on my breast it has helped with the pain. Two days ago I could hardly wear a loose cotton top, sleep or think of anything other than the pain. My breast was red and inflamed. Nothing I was told to use provided any relief. My RO comment that others deal with the same thing did nothing to make me feel better.

Yesterday I had a accupuncture session at 11:00 after my radiation treatment andwent home and did usual pampering of my breast, drinking lots of water.

Later I noticed the pain had eased and that improved through the evening. I slept well last night only getting up once. Amazingly wearing clothes did not hurt. What a miracle to find something that’s works

Yes my breast is still quite red but no longer sore. And only have two rads left.
