protein too??

Janet/FL--what you wrote about protein is so frustrating and sums up for me why it's so impossible to know what the right choices are. I've given up alcohol altogether out of fear that it would make my ER+/HER2+ cancer recur. I gave up my ovaries and went on an AI for the cause as well.

I just joined a study on weight bearing exercise as a preventative measure for osteoporosis and have been increasing my protein accordingly because of all the muscle building I'm trying to do to counteract the muscle deteriorating that is happening in my estrogen-starved body.

And now I have to question the extra chicken breast on my plate too?

It's obviously time for a glass of wine. My first since diagnosis a year ago will probably feel pretty good!
