A cancer diagnosis will change your life, and the lives of those you love.
Cancer treatment is a different path for every patient, depending on the type, stage and pathology of your cancer. But head and neck cancer radiation treatment is some of the most toxic and challenging there is, leading to a liquid diet for long periods of time as the result of a loss of taste and saliva production that are challenging to recover from.
During and then months and sometimes years after treatment, head and neck cancer survivors often suffer from xerostomia, also known as dry mouth. Dry mouth affects your ability to sleep, speak and eat. Better saliva flow makes eating easier and can increase the ability to taste. Eating well supports your bone, nutrition and overall body health. Studies conducted at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center have shown that head and neck cancer patients who undergo acupuncture in addition to their treatment program have reported more relief from dry mouth than those who are only undergoing standard treatment.
Talk to your oncologist about how acupuncture can work in conjunction with your cancer treatment program, before, during and after cancer.
