Hi Oby, I am a 6 yr survivor and I had a reoccurance last year this time. I almost had to have the procrit shot, but a nutritionist told me to eat shittake mushrooms, so in one week I was eating them every day and to my surprise they did the trick - white blood count came up and no extra shots. I talked to a woman in the waiting room and she takes mushroom pills everyday. So there must be something to it. Good luck and stay happy. Maureen
