Rectal Cancer - Hospital Recommendation

A couple of comments, I had 4th stage rectal cancer and survived . I will be 90 in April and have been clean now for over 10 years.
So for all those who have been told they have this, be assured it is not always a death sentence.
Also, I belong to Friends for Life organization and they put me in touch with people who have the same type of cancer that I had. I become their support. You might look them up on line.

I am also curios about turkey tail mushroom. There is some information here on cancer . gov ( The system doesn't allow me to share the whole link.)
I have read and watched something about it. It seems it has a lot of positive effects on immune system. I know that the oncologist will tell he doesn't know anything about it and don't use it during chemotherapy because we don't know how that supplement interacts with chemo. I know The FDA does't approve dietary supplements as safe or effective so they will never tell us to use it. We are planning to tell the oncologist; " We are determined to use turkey tail mushroom capsules, and we will use it. We just wanted to let you know."
Do you have any experience using those kinds of things?
