Turkey tail supplements

Hi I’ve recently been diagnosed with bowel cancer which has spread to my liver. I’ve been looking into alternative therapies to help me get through chemo and was wondering if anyone has took any turkey tail supplements? All the things I have read have been positve and seem to help with the immune system. I’d be really grateful for any advise

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been diagnosed with bowel cancer, which has spread to the liver. It's understandable that this is a worrying time for you. 

    We have some information about medicinal mushrooms on our website, which you may find helpful. It's really important to mention to your care team if you decide to take any supplements alongside your conventional treatment in case there are any interactions. 

    If it would help to talk with one of our nurses, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope that everything progresses smoothly with your treatment. 

    Sending my best wishes,
