I have been searching other treatments, both "western" and "complimentary".
On the medical side of things all my research is telling me that the oncologist was correct, except for one potential newish form of treatment which suggests that certain anti-bodies may help me or even have a very slight chance of curing my lymphoma. Now before we get excited remember I said that this was new, and has had only a handful of early clinical trials and still lacks solid evidence of its worth (medically speaking); but, it is certainly worth bringing to the attention of the oncologist and having the discussion. Thanks to my sister-in-law I have a few articles to bring to the appointment to start the conversation.
On the complimentary side of things I have found some suggested practices I can include such as, meditation, exercise, yoga, message and therapeutic touch therapy. I have been told to initiate by my doctors to resume my active lifestyle so back to cycling and a bit of running. Check! I have also started a weekly touch therapy session with a neighbour and friend so check on that as well. Yoga, will have to wait until after my bone marrow biopsy is done but soon.
