Re: hope for those with brain mets

Paul,

I don't know what you will find but I can say this - my tumor was so low ER positive that a few years ago it would've been treated as ER negative. But I was told that even a 1% ER positive tumor results in a recommendation of an AI now, so I was put on an AI. My liver enzymes numbers went through the roof on the AI and I asked about taking milk thistle to help with the liver enzymes and was told in no uncertain terms that I could not take it, even while on the AI and even with a very low ER positive tumor. Different doctors or studies may show something different but that is what I was told about it.
