I use flax because its positive effects on Her2 are almost undisputable. I use it about 2X per week (the ground seed which would be more concerning if ER+ of which I am 50%). I use the oil too which I do not get the high lignan. That is not concerning. I use soy the way I used to before bc, if it came in some Chinese food we all ordered and shared (usually one meal or the soup has it). I was never a biggie on soy - maybe that was bad as I feel these foods are beneficial as a preventative to get bc. Once had, who knows but I believe flax is good so I will purposefully have it about 2X per week.
