Angela,
Re: your comment about your sisters eating the same food and being cancer free, please read the comment below from Dr. Susan Love's blog from the first day of this year's San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium:
" Research that indicates that much of breast cancer is not caused by genetic mutations but rather is due to temporary suppression of a gene. Like a switch these “temporary” mutations (epigenomics) can be turned on and off. This helps explain why identical twins with the exact same genes and mutations do not have the same incidence of breast cancer."
It just goes to show how truly unique each and every one of us is. I also agree with everyone here, no guilt over diet - bc is an equal opportunity disease. If the answer were that basic and simple, Herceptin would never have been invented.
Best of luck to you with your treatment plan,
Hopeful
