Interested and curious about turkey tail mushrooms

Posted by karenrea1943 @karenrea1943, Nov 28, 2023

I was diagnosed with breast cancer stage two in June 2022 I went through two surgeries, six months of chemotherapy and five weeks of radiation. They then introduced me to estrogen blockers I started with anastrozole for 4 1/2 months and then couldn’t take it anymore. My joints and bones were so filled with pain and I was incredibly fatigued I’ve been off AI for three months and now they want me to start exemestane 25 mg daily for five years + yes. I’m anxious to start the estrogen blocker again. Anxious is an understatement. I’m petrified because I felt so ill while taking anastrozole. I was just reading about turkey tail mushrooms, but realize you cannot take them if you’re on an estrogen blocker is there anyone who can give me information on turkey tail mushrooms?

Would it be helpful to take both turkey tail and the AI? My estrogen levels were going up.

I've read that the brand Real Mushrooms is very good and I take Turkey Tail supplement after listening to many - I have never heard its contra with AI's. I started taking it when I began Letrozole which was a year ago. xo

I use Real Mushrooms brand also because Ralph Moss recommends using their 5 Defenders supplement. I use that and their Turkey Tail.
