Hi Milesaway and welcome to Cancer Chat.

I'm sorry to hear a member of your family has been diagnosed with advanced breast cancer but I'm glad it won't be long until their treatment gets underway.

Although mushrooms are often talked about as a treatment for cancer, there is currently no evidence that any type of mushroom can prevent or cure cancer. 

It would be best to discuss this with your relative's medical team first as it could potentially interfere with other cancer treatments given by their doctor, such as the chemotherapy, and carry other side effects and risks as well.

If you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they'll be available next week on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
