Hello ladies,

Thought I'd post in the diet and nutrition forum for ideas on how to naturally shrink this fibroid that was found on my ultrasound.

I was diagnosed ER/PR negative 5 years ago, so haven't done Tamoxifen or any estrogen treatments.

I understand from some reading I could have the fibroid due to high levels of estrogen? That doesn't sound like a good situation for a breast cancer survivor.

I've tried reading about foods that increase or decrease estrogen and the internet info is conflicting.

I'm thinking about trying DIM or Chasteberry.

Has anyone tried a natural way to reduce fibroids - that worked?

Thanks
