mycosis fungoides

I treated a patient for a while with mycosis

fungoides, unfortunately she would not take herbs, but

with acupuncture alone I treated it from an emotional

standpoint. She developed the lesions only on her

breasts a year after her husband was killed in a car

accident, where she was the driver. She told me that

she often woke in a cold sweat, because she dreamt she

felt him sitting on her chest. Her primary method of

treatment was PUVA therapy. After a few sessions she

ceased having the nightmares, but also stopped coming

for treatment...

I have some good reference texts for you to look at

that might be helpful:

S. Dharmananda, (article) " Oriental Perspectives on

cancer and its treatment. "

S. Becker, " A Handbook of Chinese Hematology. "

M. Shima, " Supportive Care of Cancer Patients:

complimentary integration of . "

Please let me know what you discover in treatment.

Hi,

 

I was just wondering if anyone has any experience treating (or supporting)

mycosis fungoides.

I haven't seen this patient yet so I can't give any information on TCM

pattern discrimination and pulse/ tongue; but I just wanted to have some

information before seeing him.

I know he is 75 years old and has been having this condition for a few

years. He has had radiotherapy for it a few years back. He just had a period

of stress and it has gone worse.

 

Any information or tips would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

May
