Thank you for posting links to research! I will add to this discussion my experience. Sixteen years after my first diagnosis of stage 1 BC, lumpectomy, partial radiation and 5 years of tomixifen IT has returned. This diagnosis is also stage one but with more aggressive properties. Coincidentally, two years ago I started each day (for roughly 16 months) with a smoothie infused with a collagen supplement. And I do (did) have dense breast. I’d say to all BC patients, don’t take it!

Oh Holly, I am so sorry to hear that IT came back! What is the pathology of it? Is it a new primary and in the same area?
When you were taking the collagen, did you find it helpful at all? I have been willing to try anything for relief and marketers don't even think about the long term affects of people. I lived in Switzerland for five years and they monitor all vitamins and supplements. They are all sold in pharmacies and have to be bought from a trained pharmacist. Here in the states, one can buy anything off the shelf.
