Hi Eric, when I was first diagnosed I was surfing the net and found a post on another board by this guy who was a breast cancer researcher and nutrionalist from Switzerland, he would come on from time to time and give his opinion on things. The women on this board seemed to value his opinion as an expert. On this post he had this long list of supplements that he recommended for fighting breast cancer. He said if he had to choose his top 3 supplements to take it would be grape seed, tumeric, and green tea. So I started taking these immediately. He recommended taking 2000 mg a day of the tumeric and green tea, and 500 mg of grape seed. I don't know if they have helped but I've been NED for over 2-1/2 years and I'm too superstitious to change anything I've been doing...sherryg683
