Hi @Brooke3006, firstly welcome to the network. I'm glad you've found us. All the comments already left here are spot on. It is important to discuss this or any changes you are thinking about making to your diet with your oncologist. If you haven't already, you may like to sign up to the My Journey online tool https://www.bcna.org.au/understanding-breast-cancer/resources/my-journey-online-tool/, which includes information on wellbeing and healthy eating. We are currently closed over the Christmas/New Year period but if you would like to speak to a nurse you can contact Cancer Council on 13 11 20. They will reopen on Monday from 9am (AEDST).
