The doctor I see on the side (not main hospital oncologist) told me have two spoon of ground flaxseeds is better than any medicine for breast cancer; his office also told me to stay completely away from meat and dairy. So far I still eat egg and yogurt but I don’t eat meat anymore other than occasionally. Sardine and salmon are every other days.

@resort - eggs are not dairy.
@resort what does flaxseed do
@resort The type of cancer we seek to prevent from recurring may influence diet. I had HR+, HER2- BC and my oncologist told me to avoid foods with plant estrogen. I researched flax seed, tofu, beans, etc. and the recommendation is to avoid these because while these foods help prevent some cancers, they help stimulate recurrence of others, such as the BC I had. Consequently I stopped eating flax seed. I do feel somewhat stymied over the exhortations to eat healthy AND avoid certain healthy foods: what can I eat that helps more than hurts?
