    Hi,

    Does anyone take this supplement?  I am hearing it is good, but is it only for Her2+ people?

    Thanks,

    Joanne

    Hi Joanne--

    I am taking borage oil, on the advice of my onc, and I am not Her2+.

    It is a good source of gamma-Linolenic acid.  It is also found in evening primrose oil.  Also a good anti-inflamatory.

    I am taking fish, flax and borage in combination for menopausal symptoms.  It is supposed to lower blood pressure too.  Mine was not high but I noticed was even lower after taking.

    Hi:

    My alternative/complementary doc has me on borage oil as he says it helps prevent neuropathy (I think... chemo brain).  I am not Her2nu+ an don't think it matters to get benefits of this supplement.
