Omega 3s play a big part in mental function. Some argue excess Omega 6 is detrimental. GLA figues but is arguably lower in the pecking order than DHA and EPA, and is an Omega 6 so must be considered in terms of overall fat intake.

Brain Building Nutrition Michael A Schmidt is a useful read. There is also a book by Andrew Stroll. They are both available new or s/h on the web.

You might like to search flax seed and flaxseed on this forum. There are those that argue that flaxseed is beneficial.

You might also like to look at the greek diet thread - see above.

There are also some posts on GLA and evening primrose oil other sources points to consider etc.

All of the above contain material that if of interest you can print and take to discuss with your onc.

I am sorry there is quite a lot of reading. There are no definitive answers that are widely agreed, and hence it is not possible to make definitive recommendations.
