You really have to ask your BF's neuro-oncologist or the nurses there. We gave our doc a list of all the supps my son Andy was taking and the maitake mushroom (may be similar to PSK) was the one thing they said no to.

Good luck with EVERYTHING!

Memorial Sloane Kettering has a good site called "about Herbs"

it tells you of studies on the herbs, interactions and other useful info.  Maybe you can check it out.
