Diana and Stephanie,
Please read the attached article. I was dx 2/1/05 w/ Stage 1, Grade 3, ER/PR-, No node, Her2+ Breast Cancer. I did 6 rounds of dose dense TEC (taxotere, epirubicin and cytoxan), 33 rads and am currently doing Herceptin every 3 weeks until at least 8/06. Would it HURT to take a small amount of evening primrose? I already do Diana's diet faithfully, but will add whatever I can. Thank you.

Rhonda,
Thank you for sharing this news release with me. It was very interesting to read. The published research is not yet available through the internet so I cannot read the entire article today. However, the same researcher also published the following article earlier this year, so it appears that he/she is working in this area of fat metabolism and gene interaction, in particular focusing on the Her-2/neu gene in breast cancer.
