Fish Oil and Prostate Cancer: Helpful or harmful?

@sailor1750, That's a good question and I'm guessing you've read some studies or an article about fish oil supplements. I don't have prostrate cancer but do have an enlarged prostrate so it's a concern. I do take fish oil supplements along with others to help with my peripheral neuropathy. Here's some information I found that sheds a little light and may be helpful:

@sailor1750 have you discussed taking supplements with your doctor or pharmacist?
