I have been on Herceptin for over 4 years and been taking 4000mg Flaxseed Oil Capsules for over 2 years, at one time the board members thought I was selling the stuff because I couldn't shut up about it, however I have still had reoccurences so the Jury is still out for me, is it the Herceptin or the flaxseed keeping my mets under control so they don't go out of control? I am not hormone responsive and I was thrown into early menopause after the AC back in 98/99 I am now 51, but I was still able to take Aromasin which worked on one occassion to reduce enlarged glands and kill off the cancer cells, it did make my nails strong and hair grow quicker, but like everything else I don't have very good nails at the moment but I am on oral Cyclosphomide/Xeloda, 2 weeks on 2 weeks off for reoccurence in my right breast after failing radiaiton with Xeloda for 26 severe doses, so hard question to give an answer to. I am also on Fish Oil capsules but stopped them for a couple of weeks when I was feeling unwell, each time I would berp I got a taste of the fish oil and that was worse than feeling sick. I have tried the liquid oils but like other things such as beetroot juice, I cannot stomach them anymore.
Love & Hugs Lyn
