Soy
My doctor stated that I could not have soy with the hormone blocker. She said it would not allow the drug to work as it should.0 -
Soy
Hi Cabbott: My doctor told me to avoid soy all together while on the tamoxifen. So I've avoided any kind of supplements that contain soy as well as foods. Hugs, Lili0 -
I have been trying to come
I have been trying to come to peace with the soy thing. My BC is 45% Estrogen pos. So, what is good for 45% is bad for 55%. I guess I will avoid soy, though as a mostly vegan, it is hard. Many sites say some soy is okay, just don't overdo. Thanks for the article information. love, Joyce0 -
I just wanted to add that it
I just wanted to add that it seems to me that soy would increase the growth of tumors also in those women who do not know about them yet. Since BC is so prevalent, and estrogen+ likely, it seems that all women might want to think twice before upping their soy. Joyce0 -

I agree Joyce. Though soy may be good it can be harmful for us with estrogen + tumors. I know that for vegetarians, it is a good source of protein, but there are other dried legumes, such as lentils and beans that pack high amounts of protein without giving us the risk of added soy. Hugs, Lili0
