Hi Debbie
I was told by the pharmacist not to take flaxseed oil as it is a phyto oestrogen as I had a big bottle ready to take. Vit D is fine I am taking that the oncologist put me on it as my level was low. There is a really good website that tells you about the ok things to take (herbal remedies) and have now checked that every time I go to try something. It's www.mkskcc.org/mskcc/html/11570.cfm I had been taking kelp (source of iodine) for about a month and then when I checked it says not recommended for oestrogen dependant tumours so have had to stop it. I am taking fish oil, glucosamine green lip mussel and a multi vit the aches and pains from chemo and lack of oestrogen have nearly gone just the hot flashes to contend with! I have a booklet called Breast Cancer and early menopause and it has lots of information about medication and other treatments. It's from the National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre www.nbocc.org.au It's been very helpful in what can be a mine field to find out what is ok or not!
Good luck
Sarah
