A series of moxibustion sessions within six weeks from baseline with adjuvant chemotherapy.

Participants who will be allocated to waitlist will receive no moxibustion treatments throughout the 6 weeks while receiving adjuvant chemotherapy

Cancer

In the moxibustion treatment group, 3 moxibustion, 3 acupoints(CV12, CV8, CV54) will be heated with indirected moxibustion.
The moxibustion will be removed when the patient feel hotness and require remove them
