Morgan,

I forgot to mention that the omegas are families. The mother omega three is found in flax seed or oil. (Search on flax seed and talk to your onc - much deabte on this one)

The long chain children DHA and EPA are found in oily fish as you appear to be aware.

So you can look at different ways of getting you fats, UDOs is a 3,6,9 but you get the nine in olive oil, and mother three is found in flax etc.

Yes the body can convert the mother omega three but a large number of things block it so arguably best be prudent.

Omega six is essential but the most difficult to avoid if you used prepared food, grain fed live stock etc.

Omega six is stored in fat so you may have reserves. Breast fat takes months to change gluteal longer.

I am afraid you just have to do lots of reading consult with advisers and make the best decision you can, monitor if possible etc.
