Re: Just diagnosed teacher
There are some foods that have been specifically found to protect against HER2 positive breast cancer. One of the most well studied is extra-virgin olive oil. Olive oil also appears to enhance the effectiveness of Herceptin, which you may receive as part of your treatment. It's also ok to consume during chemotherapy. Please Google the following for lists of the foods (as well as links to the academic studies that describe the findings in detail):
"What should HER2/neu breast cancer patients and survivors eat?"
"What should breast cancer patients and survivors eat during Herceptin treatment?"
There are also articles on the site concerning what to eat during chemotherapy, depending on type.
