Should I Take Ganoderma Lucidum For Acute Myeloid Leukemia?

a) Should I take ganoderma lucidum for acute myeloid leukaemia? I am 83 and cannot do the heavy chemo, but am on thioguanine 1 X 5 tablets per week. My platelets have dropped to 39 and I think the reishi might be contributing to the drop. b) A friend with aml has neutrophil injections when his neuts are low, but my oncologist says I must not have them, as they could be fatal for me. Do you know why this might be? Mine are 0.1. My blasts are below 5%. Please and thank you. Please.
