I took maitake mushroom pills for about a year after I finished treatment--my sister had sent me information about the potential benefits of these mushrooms so I thought it was worth a try. I'm happy to say that I'm still cancer-free after six years, so there might be something to them. I know my friend, Michele U. from Nebraska was taking them also, and she's doing fine after almost 5 years. Can't say it was the maitake mushrooms that did the trick, but it may have helped. I also took milk thistle and Co10 for a while, too.
