This is a tough one. I am ER/PR neg. have had bil mastectomies and a hysterectomy. I do use flaxseed oil, make flaxseed muffin, bread and use the meal on cereal. I also use an all natural balancing cream. I have fibromyalgia so have muscles and joint pain. This is what I do for mine. If I was ER pos. I don't know what I would do. One should be careful of mushrooms and soy. I don't like either one so that is not a problem. I would keep trying things such as the goucosamine ?sp but it was mentioned in a previous post. It does take 2 or 3 months for it to work so hang in there if you try it. I took it before the flaxseed. Its not a quick fix! Wishing you well. I am not able to eat tomatoes really gives me joint pain. hugs, Sandy
