Hi Ragini,
I'm er/pr-, and have been using both olive oil and flaxseed meal (2-3 Tblsp daily) and soy milk for a few years now. Don't know what the long term implications are for er+, but my onc and I discussed the benefit of using whole foods that contain the elements deemed to have anti-cancer compounds. He feels the whole food is safer than extracted compounds, until more data becomes available; studies are flourishing! Have you talked with a nutritionist or your onc, maybe either one would have good input given your er status...

Love, Lolly
