Have you looked at diet as an adjunct to try and tip the balance.

I know on face value it sounds unlikely that diet could make that much difference.

But for example a trial showed HER2 overexpression facilitiates increased fatty acid metabolism and activation of fatty acid synthesys.

HER2 inhibitors decrease that increase.

BC has been connected to COX2 and inflamatory diseases.

Omega six is a percussor of COX 2.

Omega three is a moderator.

There are lots of posts accessible on this site - click on the purple bar search above.

Of course balancing omega three and six will require significant change to most diest due to the inclusion of vegetable fats high in omega six in most processed foods.

If nothing else it should contribute to better health. If you already have explored this option please excuse me.

All significant changes in diet should be discussed with your advisors.

Hope this helps. It is doxorubicin (which is what a lot of breast cancer patients get usually early on for treatment), but with a coating on it. Doxorubicin generally causes hair loss.
