Hi all,
Thanks for joining this discussion. As many of you have pointed out, there is no evidence that women diagnosed with breast cancer need to follow a special diet or eat, or not eat, particular foods. Following the dietary guidelines that are recommended for all Australian adults is recommended.
If you are thinking of changing your diet significantly, you might want to talk to your GP about how best to do this, as changes to diet can affect your energy levels and lead to dietary deficiencies.
You might also like to look at the healthy eating page on BCNA’s website which has some useful information and a link to our Healthy eating and breast cancer booklet which you can order or download from the website.
