Thanks for the replys. It just helps so much to know you aren't being a hypochondriac. And to know what you are going through isn't totally abnormal. Not that I want other people to be sore & achy, but just to know it doesn't mean something is terribly wrong. Also another FYI. I have read where alot of people are eating flax seed muffins and there is alot of articles stating that flax can reduce Her-2 overexpression by 71%. Well, I was very confused because the summer issue of Women & Cancer says flax & Omega 3's are NOT good for breast cancer. I took both articles with me to my appt. today and my onc. said that flax contains a plant form of estrogen which is not recommended for breast cancer and he said a little flax and/or Omega 3 sources such as fish is okay but alot is not and would not recommend eating the muffins every day or drinking the oil. So take it for what it's worth!! It's hard when there is so much conflicting info out there.
