Re: What should ER+/PR- breast cancer patients/survivors eat?

I am also Er+ and PR-. I try to eat right (like on the list) but do eat treats when appropriate.

Remember that this article is saying that if you are ER+ but PR-, something else is also driving your cancer. In our case, that is most likely Her2. EGFR is also know as Her1. We all could be Her1+ too but there is more to worry about if you are ER+PR- but NOT Her2+ because it opens the door on what else you are positive for (because ER likes another partner to play with while Her2 will play with anyone, even itself

The list is a good one but is really saying "eat a plant based diet - lots of veggies etc". Stay clear of white foods and sweets.
