Acupuncture for nausea, should I or not?

Found nausea from new chemo really hard to deal with, myy daughter has suggested acupuncture but I am a bit unsure.

Anyone thought of having it themselves, or had it, does it work?

  • Hi PaulaE, sorry to hear you are having such a hard time with nausea. I had chemo for breast cancer 3 years ago, my friend bought me these little bands that sit on your acupressure spots on your wrists- to be honest not sure if it helped. I was also nibbling on ginger and eating snacks which may have helped. Acupressure is an alternative to acupuncture if you don’t fancy the needles. I would say what have you got to lose- assuming you can afford it. Good luck with your treatment
