Karen, I'm a worry wort. I see my onc and Herceptin tomorrow so I will ask about the CT vs MRI (my pcp ordered the CT). RB, I write this as my tuna casserole is baking and yes, I RELIGIOUSLY follow the BC Diet and I TOO am boring as I cook EVERYTHING from scratch, no processed foods. There ARE current research studies going on discussing not only the role of diet (more specifically the BC diet) and BC recurrence called the WHEL study (Womens Health...I'd have to look up the rest) which Diana Dyer told me about, it is an 8 yr study, but the results won't be out until 2008 and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center just got a grant from NCI (I think WHEL is through MD Anderson) about diet and cancer. If you let me know how to contact you, I would be happy to send what info I have as I TOO think much of cancer is diet and exercise related (just read on ASCO website today that Mayos found that green tea also helps an adult form of leukemia). Well, casseroles done. Gotta go.
