@kmakm I think for overall health and recovery complementary medicines are helping. And I feel current symptoms would be much worse without them. the couple of weeks leading up to rads I was feeling the best I had since diagnosis last October. Today is day 21 on letrozole and hot flushes are getting worse, now having them through the night as well as the day. Joint pain makes it difficult to move morning & night and if ive been sitting for more than an hour. Before BC I'd never had surgery or any medications. Chemo & radiotherapy was a big shock to my body and I believe complementary medicine aided my recovery. Moving forward all my symptoms would probably be much without complementary medicine and im not prepared to stop just to find out. I think its important to find an alternative therapist willing to work with mainstream medicine that you trust.
