confused

Hi again all, thanks for the encouragement and advice. I have been reading, researching and re-reading so much in the last few days that I have confused myself. I'm really getting back on track with supplements, etc. I just got messed up on whether i should be taking any omega 6's at all. I've been taking a blend of 3',6's, 9's derived from fish, borage, flax. I also had started taking evening primrose, but maybe that has been a bad idea. Could anyone tell me in really simple terms, as i'm kind of 'studied out'. If I'm messing myself up?

I am also going to look at my estradiol, as has been suggested, cause I'm incredibly estrogen sensitive and still have powerful ovaries, but feeling menopausal still from taxol/carbo, but maybe the estradiol is sneaking up.

I'm also wondering if the Herceptin, after 4 years, is just not working. Why else would my biggest tumor in the liver have tripled in 6 weeks and the others have doubled? I was strongly her 2 positive per FiSH, but maybe the other components aren't there or the cells are too smart for this anymore.

Ugh, I hope the navelbine helps even though we are using it as 3rd line treatment. I'm trying so hard to rally AGAIN and feel like I am doing things to help-that dumb sense of control and proaction-you know?

sorry to be so self-centered, I do think about everyone on here and say my prayers for all. any news from sherry wv?

thank you, yet again,
