Guest guest Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Mike, Yes I feel confident in my ability and my patient also feels the same. We've made great progress in treating his chief complaint of GERD and severe anxiety. He informed me the other day he had weaned himself off of Paxil during the course of treatments (he didn't tell me he was doing this). Being that he is asymptomatic and that his oncologist told him it would have been better not to have been given the diagnosis of CLL, because the knowledge that he has it will be worse than the complications of CLL he is likely to experience. I hope the oncologist is right about this. I will definitely refer if complications arise. He also stays in touch with his oncologist and internal med. physicians.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 do a thorough tcm diagnosis, and in addition to treating him per his tcm symptoms, practice Fu Zheng... I don't think you need to refer. He came to you. You can research, ask other practitioners, and build confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
