Hey all:

I am embarking on the Budwig diet, which recommends the heavy use of Flax Oil, and freshly ground flax seed in your daily intake.

I am her2+++, and Er+ Pr+ as well. I actually discussed this with my onc Monday, and he was ok with it.

I am presently on a chemo break, receiving Herceptin only, and hoping to put off a return to chemo for as long as possible, so this is a great time for an experiment like this.

It will be interesting to see if the flax addition has an impact on my situation. I am stage 4 with mets to liver and bones.

Presently still enjoying great quality of life. We're off to Mammoth in a couple of hours to enjoy a couple of days of spring snow skiing. Next week-end we're taking the boat to the lake for some water skiing, sure love living in southern CA!
