"I was diagnosed with cancer in August 2016 and, after surgery, began radiation and chemotherapy that Fall. During my first two chemos, I began having moderate-to-severe pain/neuropathy in my lower legs and feet. After doing some research, and talking to my oncologist and friends with similar experiences, I contacted GWCIM to learn about possible alternative remedies. Dr. Deirdre Orceyre, acupuncturist and naturopath, recommended several supplements as well as acupuncture treatments. My pain subsided noticeably after I began the supplements and acupuncture and I was able to complete my chemo treatments with fairly minimal side effects. It is not unusual for cancer patients to continue to experience neuropathy after chemo ends, and I did continue to experience some neuropathy for several months after my cancer treatments ended. Consequently, I have continued acupuncture treatments as well, reducing the frequency of treatments as the neuropathy has waned. I am now five months post-chemo and my neuropathy is almost completely gone. I credit much of my improvement to Dr. Orceyre's treatments. I also have found her to be a knowledgeable, patient and compassionate caregiver throughout the time I have seen her." E.C.
