A lot of the folks here use a mushroom supplement of one kind or another. I have a recipe a friend used for mixing her own mushroom supplement for her dog who fought lymphoma. If you were looking at one of the mushroom supplements and are interested in giving the home mixed a try, PM me and I'll locate it and send it to you.
I didn't use the mushrooms, but gave extra fish oil for immunity. There is a concentrated oil made in New Zealand - Moxxor, that is big with a holistic vet we used toward the end. You might do some research on it.
