Malena,

Thanks, Malena, that would be great if you can ask your oncologist.

Do try the flaxseed. My tumor markers were elevated even despite my small cancer and stayed that way although I was on herceptin for months. It wasn't until I started with the flaxseed (faithfully every day) that my markers went down--not where I want them to be but still down. It can't hurt as it's good for lots of other things as well.

You might also try taking tumeric, either natural or in pill form.

There have been some recent studies regarding pro-Vitamin E, in Australia, that also showed some suppression of HER2. You should be careful, though, with Vitamin E as it also has its downside.

And you might try CoQ-10 for heart. Lots of others on this site swear by it.

Good luck.
