Thanks Lani.

I have been keeping an eye out for trials like this.

For me at my very amateur level from my reading it is unsurprising if asthma and BC and linked.

I would expect to see links between BC and other inflamatory conditions.

Many of the mechanisms seem to have a communality and interlink.

I have for a long time had a concern as to whether Herceptin trials have controlled for any correlation between heart health and BC - if the drop out due to heart problems, or selection process has also been controlled for any such influence. I sincerely hope so.

Omega threes are acknowledged to lower heart condition risks, AND women with highest breast tissue n3 / DHA EPA had lowest risk of invasive tumours, so it may not be a totally barking concern.
