Hello
😊
You were smart to ask this question before taking this natural product.
In your father's situation, I would not recommend taking chaga since it can interact with the blood thinner.
Chaga can also boost the immune system. Since your father has cancer, his immune system is already stressed, so I would not recommend adding chaga.
Happy day!
