Afterward I am quite fatigued, which seems to be a relaxation or detoxification response.  Generally I felt ok after a day or two after.  I'm inclined to think it is helping, but taking an hour out of the week on top of all my other appointments have been kinda difficult.  All I really want to do now is stop going to see doctors.  Unfortunately I still have bunch of follow-ups with the surgeon, oncologist, and radiation oncologist.  I'm unsure if I will continue with acupuncture.
