Hi I’m new to this page. I hope you are enjoying life after that amazing news of beating cancer. I am currently waiting to see an ENT after 7months of back and forth to the doctor with tonsil pain and everyone telling me there is nothing wrong I’m completely fine. I have now had 3 swollen lymph nodes in my neck for the last 10 weeks which when I had an ultrasound came back as all normal with no abnormalities apart from the central hilum was not visible.

Hey Hey   I suggest don't read too much into the needle placement.   I felt a benefit, but my needles were in the webbing of my hand (no, I'm not Spiderman, I mean that stretchy bit between thumb and forefinger), forearms and legs.   To a practitioner, they'll be about "stimulating the chi" or "opening your pathways", hey, I imagine you could even get an indian practitioner that blends the methodologies / philosophies and starts talking about your Chakra.   A scientist will say something about stimulating inflammation and the body's autoimmune response, they'll say that if it works, its for an entirely different reason to the practitioner.   At the end of the day, the main thing is that the stats show it works .. for some people.  There'll be a question of degree too.  I suggest going into it with an evaluative frame of mind, and having at least 2 weeks worth of treatment (or whatever the practitioner suggests), and try to guage if there's been a measurable improvement (or even a slight feeling of improvement might actually be worth it).   I can eat and swallow a sausage on Australia Day now, without having to sip water with every mouthful .. things do start to get better over time. ...
