Integrative medicine is the way of the future. Cancer treatments using integrative medicine is cutting edge. Yes scheduling is tough but it can be done. Under one roof helps along with good medical insurance that pays for this kind of care.
My oncologist recommended I try along with traditional care from him, a naturopathic clinic once I asked what could I do to help in my battle with breast cancer. This clinic I can only describe as a sick person's club. They charge a monthly fee that was very resonable, and for that you could get accupuncture 2-3 times a week, Shiatsu massage twice a month and a once a month counsult with the naturopathic docotr. At the clinic they saw only cancer patients, hiv, hep c, and ms patients.
I had reports to give to my MD and reports from my MD to my ND. The 2 practices were with-in 3 miles of each other, and I would schedule out a month at a time. I felt I was being treated as a whole person, not just a woman with breast cancer.
Sheduling, and organization are important with a cancer diagnosis. Family and friends can be asked to help with the everyday routines. Under one roof means one parking, one destination. This can be very helpful for the person going alone to their treatments because fatigue is a very big deal.
