Interesting. RB you have convinced me over the years to avoid omega 6 and only add in omega 3 since we seem to get too much in our normal diets of omega 6, so if GLA is an omega 6, I would assume it was not something we should add into our diets.

ps agree oncs don't seem to know much about supplements however at St. Joseph's in Burbank (LA), California, they were starting a department to look into all of those issues, don't know where it's at today. Also my GP is quite knowledgeable although I doubt she would consider hereself an expert either.
I think we would all like some simple guide that could say if you're HER2+, ER+ (or ER-), etc, it's good to take such and such for this and that reason. but things change weekly it seems sometimes.
