Eating healthy

I completely understand. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2010 and I am still trying to get a handle on everything. If you are estrogen positive as far as your breast cancer goes most people would say to avoid soy. Unfortunately, soy is in a lot of things. I have heard differing views on flax. When I asked my MO what I should be eating or not eating, he told me to avoid soy but it was okay if I had minor amounts. In other words, don't eat it every day and try to avoid it but don't drive yourself nuts. I asked him if I was going to have to give up red meat and he told me that it was a part of a healthy diet and that I did not have to give it up. Thank God because I love steak and prime rib! From a lot of what I have read, you should not consume a lot of sugar as it can lead to inflammation in your diet and this is thought to cause numerous health problems.
