I am ER+ and use flax seed ground (about 2X per week) and oil sometimes too. I also use soy (tofu) if I go to my daughter's to eat (she is a strict vegetarian). Having these products every so often is not bad. Its over doing or taking supplements (and overdoing it) that can be a big problem.

No one told me when to take Arimidex but I take it at night.
