I am a 36 year old male living in Los Angeles. I was diagnosed in
July
of 1998 with Hodgkin's disease with tumors in my neck and chest. I
went through six months of chemotherapy and five weeks of daily
radiation. The radiation was complete in April of 1999. I was treated
traditionally at UCLA and am currently unhappy with my UCLA
oncologist.
I have gone through a whole year of "detoxing" from the poisonous
treatments. I have had sleepless nights, chronic coughs, and
tremendous back pain and am currently being treated with Qi Gong and
acupuncture by a respected Chinese doctor in Santa Monica. I am
thrilled with him.
I am looking for a new oncologist that I can use in combination with
my Chinese doctor who combines traditional western philosophies with
Eastern and alternative therapies. Can any one help me with some
recommendations for doctors located in the west side of Los Angeles,
CA? And can anyone offer discussion on similar circumstances to mine?
