I am ER+ (50%) but PR negative. I do use flaxseed but maybe once a week as I feel it is okay to have a little. I eat cereal every morning (different ones) and one of the ones I eat is Uncle Sam's cereal. It does have whole flaxseeds in it (which aren't absorbed as well as ground) and I do sometimes put a tablespoon or 2 into pancake batter as it is good for my daughters and having 2 pancakes out of a batch that is enough for 6 people is not much.
I think if you are hormone positive, you do have to watch the soy and flax but a little variety is ok and I don't think it will hurt at all. If all you eat is soy and flax (a couple of servings a day combined) its probably not a good idea at all.
Just my thoughts as the nutritionist at the cancer center I go to said to watch it on both but no need to totally eliminate it like it is cyanide or anything so that is what I do.
