Have I Done More Harm To Myself By Taking Reflexology Treatment For Leukemia?

I am a 74 year old mother of 3 and been diagnosed with a very early stage of leukemia. Doctors recommend I don't need to start any treatment as yet. I had a reflexology treatment last week following 4 days of feeling extremely tired, and slightly dizzy, want to sleep all the time. Have I done more harm to myself?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have early stage of leukemia. Treatment depends on type and stage of leukemia. In early stage of chronic lymphocytic leukemia no treatment is required. Just wait and watch approach should be followed. Your treatment doesn't harm you. Your symptoms may be due to progression of leukemia or other cause. You should go for complete blood count and peripheral smear examination. Then you should plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
