R.B.
Do you know if there have been any other studies
like the one in Toronto - regarding flax seed and er+
cancer? It is sort of the opposite of what we've been
told in the past. I asked my onc. about it and she
hadn't heard about the Princess Margaret study.
I was taking flax seed and then stopped. This
study suggests that I should be taking it.
Have I already asked you this question?
