Super foods
Hello everybody
Just curious as to whether you see benefits in the so called “Super Foods” like linseeds (flaxseeds), blueberries, broccoli and tea (especially green) helping to guard against certain cancers.
Since my BC diagnosis last month (I have DCIS) I have done a complete turnaround in what I eat. I am having a mastectomy on Monday as they found more DCIS behind my nipple. I am actually not concerned about losing the breast. Better out than in. I will take life over vanity any day. I just hope I can move on from then and there is no more unwelcome news in my body

I am also seeing my onco in three weeks, we can both ask and see if we get the same result. :) I stopped taking the chia seeds yesterday (just in case) and literally overnight my body has turned back into a 90 year old after they have been rock climbing, and fell off. not so lol.

- Well a fat lot of use that was!Sorry for giving you some hope that you would get an answer.I am seeing my onc in 3 weeks,and I have just made a note in my diary to ask her.I will let you know what she says,if you don't have an answer by then.Cheers Robyn
- Hi Bec,we all cope as best we can. Good nutrition, exercise & a somewhat unusual sense of humour have a helped me get through this. I'd love to have a home vege garden but a brown thumb and 2 much loved dogs make that a bit of a challenge!! I do have a nice pot of basil and parsley growing and a rosemary bush. Your cat looks very sweet :-)I've done a bit of reading about pet food as well, I don't feed any commercial stuff just raw meaty bones, eggs, sardines and healthy leftovers. Hope you've had a good day....
Thanks Lisa for this site,
I was on Tamoxifen and last visit to Onco we changed to Arimidex. Joint and bone pain made me feel like an 90 year old. Chia seed kept on coming up on different sites, so I tried it, just 1tbs a day, after 3 days I felt so much better, even my mood was better. Panic is this making the Arimidex not work?? The big problem is that we see our Onco, given new meds, see you in 3 months time, phone call make that 4 months time, she is going on holidays.
I am sure a lot of ladies feel like this, where do we get the backup support?? For me it's google, soz but this sort of imformation is really hard to source from anywhere.
Have stopped with the chia until I see my Oncologist.
Thanks

Hi all,
The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in the U.S. also provides an information resource about herbs, botanicals, supplements and other products, which may be useful.Here is the link to their resource: http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/about-herbs-botanicals-other-products
Cheers,
LisaI will research it, thank you. The Nutri-Bullet is one of those ones you see on daytime TV during the ads.
What a very interesting site :-). Thank you for sharing.
I had my laptop on my lap and read the one "does sitting your laptop on your lap cause cancer".
Great tip.....Thank you :-)
