Hello, I’m new here, it’s my Dad that has been diagnosed with cancer and I’m wondering if anyone has taken Cordycep supplements or eaten fresh cordycep mushrooms and found any benefits? Thank you.
Hi Banana Bread and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that your dad has been diagnosed with cancer and it's natural to want to do all you can to help.
I've searched the online community but only found one previous post asking about these supplements or mushrooms and they didn't get any replies I'm afraid.
The online community is divided into different support forums, so your best chance of connecting with others who might have taken them is to join the forum specific to your father's cancer. You could have a look through this list to choose the appropriate one or reply to me and I'll give you a direct link.
Once you've joined a forum, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It is very important that your father doesn't take any supplements without first speaking to his treatment team as some can interfere with the drugs he may have been prescribed making them less effective or causing an adverse effect.
It would be great if you could put something about your father's diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.
