hi i had oestrogen receptive breast cancer which has been removed through mastectomy, i am receiving chemo at the moment and then radiation and hormon therapy, does any one know about nutrition/diet that is low in estrogen or high in estrogen inhibitors, all the info i find is very confusing.

thanx

    hi bex...i don't have any information for you but i am looking for the SAME information...i was diagnosed and it was hopefully all removed through masectomy...i am currently in chemo and will begin hormone therapy when it's over...the nutrition information i find is conflicting and confusing...share anything you find and i'll do the same!..for example...i've got flaxseed in my refrigerator that i was grinding and eating each day and someone told me to stop...then i read it was okay...

    I am very interested in the flax seed question:  Good or bad.  The package says it can prevent estrogen driven BC, but other sources say it fuels it.  What to believe
