Mayo Clinic Turkey Tail Mushroom Trial

Posted by colely @colely, Mar 31 11:27am

Here is hope for some of us. Mayo Clinic is conducting a trial giving women with ER+/HER2 --, Turkey Tail mushrooms. The purpose is to determine changes in proliferation of ki-67. There are many hopeful trials at Mayo. Take a look! BTW, my oncologist knew nothing and expressed no interest in anything but the common prescription medications to help me survive.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Breast Cancer Support Group.

Also, I searched Mayo Connect and found this older discussion about Turkey Tail Mushrooms: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/interested-and-curious-about-turkey-tail-mushrooms/

Are you thinking about applying to clinical trail?

No, I am just doing my own thing, using information from former studies, which talks about 4 grams a day. 2 grams is one teaspoon. I also am doing 5 to 10 mg. a day of Tamoxifen, depending on how much I can stand that day. This is for my new, much more virulent, breast cancer in the other breast 2024.
