Hi Andi
I read an article about AHCC and how it is used by Doctors in Japan. The article stressed that it should be pharma grade only. I found it on offer at £31 and ordered it. Then I started to worry - should I take when on Xeloda - so I did more research yesterday. By sheer luck discovered that a study has been done with patients taking UFT chemo(Fluorouracil) & AHCC . There was a significant improvement in tumour suppression . Xeloda changes to Fluorouracil in the body. So thought worth taking to boost immune system.
Still a bit unsure about what to take or not. I know this is silly. I rarely took anything prior to BC!
I will look at the brands you mention.
