I just found out I have a high centromere antibody result which indicates scleroderma, which in turn involves excess collagen that is deposited in inappropriate places (skin, organs, vessels) so I assume taking more collagen might not be a good idea! Not sure about connection to breast cancer and can look up. Related to calcifications????Dr. McCormick recommended it for bones and sells it.

Oh gosh… the journey ever ends! I hope there is some treatment to stop or curtail advancement. Does this complicate your bone meds?

What I have gleaned re: collagen is that breast cancer cells “may” travel along collagen connective tissue. But I also read that it helps maintain suppleness of bones. BC Docs don’t seem to know anything about it.

Thanks for your response and wishing you the best with this added complication. You need a health break ( not the bone kind)!

Wendy, how long have you been taking the collagen? I had read about that but I only saw it once and have seen it anywhere else.
