[MOL] Alternative therapy



Hello,

My sister's breast cancer has moved to her bone and liver.  Liver function
results continue to worsen.  We are now trying a holistic doctor
who dispenses Korean "medicines," performs accupuncture, moxbustion and tape
therapy. She seems to be feeling less pain and more energy as a result of this
treatment (or a result of the last chemo leaving her.)

She is having a problem with Eastern philosophy, etc. and is
about ready to give up on it.  She is having one more Doxil treatment and then
there's no other options with conventional medicine that we know of.  Because
of her liver function, she is ineligible for most clinical trials.

Does anyone know of a reputable holistic doctor in the Massachusettes area? 
She doesn't want to travel very far and leave her two children. 

We are trying to stay positive and to help her outlook.  It seems that this is
a vital factor in healing, but is very difficult to maintain. Since she is
weak, we are looking for things that can be done in the home, but she can
travel as necessary. Any suggestions on how to keep our attitudes in the right
place?

Thank you all for your kindness!
