Hi Alicia,
Welcome to the site. I did a quick search around the web for AHCC and could only really come up with this from a reputable website –
https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/ahcc
And as far as a reputable source goes, MSKCC is pretty good! I only did some quick googling on AHCC as I had never come across it before, but I did see a ton of website, newspapers and people etc making claims about it’s benefits etc. I am not saying they are wrong, but there was a lack of what I would class as credible info available to read on it and that gets my alarm bells ringing if you know what I mean. Please be aware that there are a ton of claims made about a ton of things online and should your mum wish to try a supplement of any type please consult with the doctors and medical team before doing so.
I hope that the MSKCC piece is of interest to you and I hope that your mums chemo goes well also. Please keep on coming back here and let us know how everything goes.
My best wishes to you and your mum,
Gavin
Hi Meg,
Can’t help you with any personal experiences as my dad never had chemo, but have you checked out the Chemo board that we have here on the site? I know over there that you will find a load of posts from the members of either theirs or their loved ones experiences of Gem/Cis.
The decision as to chemo or not is a very tough one and I would argue that there is no right or wrong answer for anyone. Each person should I would argue make the decision that they feel comfortable with. I always said to my dad that I would support him in whatever decision he made about his treatment and that he should do what he wanted to do and not what he felt others may or may not want him to do. But in essence I would say there is no right or wrong decsion here.
Hopefully the others will be able to chime in with their thoughts as well on this one. Please let us know how things go with your mum Meg and what she decides to do.
My best to you and your mum,
Gavin

Hi Beth,
Welcome to the site. No problems with the postings, that seems to happen a bit around here when someone goes to post something! It’s happened to me and all the others as well so you are not alone in that one! I deleted them all and left just the one remaining in the intro section for you.
Sorry that you had to find us all here and sorry to hear what you are going through. But I am glad that you’ve joined in with us as you so are in the best place for support and help and you will get a load of both from all of us here. Thanks for sharing everything that is going on with you right now. I know it can get a bit quiet around here during the weekends but I know that the others will be along soon to welcome you here. Looking forward to hearing more from you so post away. And don’t worry if a single post appears a few times again as I will just clean em up! And it is nothing to do with the net or your computer either so don’t worry about that either!
My best to you,
Gavin
