From Friday January 10th 2014, Mary has been working as an acupuncturist with Action Cancer delivering acupuncture to people with, or recovering from, cancer who are experiencing poor health or side effects as a result of their diagnosis or treatment.
The evidence for using acupuncture to treat some of the major side effects of chemotherapy or radiation is compelling. Reducing the emotional and physical symptoms commonly experienced by people being treated for cancer can help improve their quality of life.
In the US, acupuncture has increasingly become integrated into mainstream cancer care. Most of the major cancer centres there have an integrated care component which includes acupuncture treatment as a supportive care modality. Hopefully, in the not-too-distant future this will also become a reality here in Northern Ireland.
