I love green tea and noted this article last week and will continue to drink green tea, knowing it may be helpful for those with her2+ bc.

From this article, it appears that green tea is a natural inhibitor indirectly to her2 as well as her3, preventing their dimerization and proliferation with tumor progression. I guess those with hormonal negative, her2+bc should be drinking green tea and maybe ingesting genistein products too, at least according to this article, that is if you have no concerns about phytoestrogens. I'm hormonal negative so I feel safe with genisten, green tea, and other phytoestrogens .
