Hi Mezzie
Glad you are doing well and nearly towards the end of your radiation therapy. Some of the things I have learnt to keep my oestrogen levels down are to keep away from dairy products such as milk, cream etc. However, if it is fermented then it is beneficial and does not increase oestrogen. Also avoid soya products and sugar and reduce carbs. Eating cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, kale, brussels sprouts, bokchoy etc reduces oestrogen. Also I have discovered Kefir which is a yoghurt like drink that has far more probiotics then yoghurt is very helpful. For many years I suffered from constipation which I feel is one of the factors that has contributed to my cancer. Now with this change in diet and taking kefir everyday is helping me a lot. I have the kefir culture and make it at home. Also cancer cells are said to feed on sugar so avoid sugar. Hope this helps.
Wish you a speedy and complete recovery.
