in Breast Cancer #1

I am having Tamoxofin daily after right breast masectomy.

i was told that Soy and Soy Supplements should be avoided as they encourage growth of estrogen.

i am an avid chocolate lover but find that ALL Chocolates have Soy Lecithin in them...what do I do?

does anyone knw of any brand of chocolate without this?

thanks...have a great day!

    I am sure there is some out

    I am sure there is some out there in unusual shops or perhaps on line.  A little soy really won't do you any harm.  Shouldn't worry too much.  On line is bound to have some distributors or tell you of the healthiest brand.  Dark chocolate, a little of, is good for you.

    It's hard to not get some soy

    It's hard to not get some soy in our diets.  My oncologist told me to just try and watch it and I do.

    I like Reese Cups

    I like Reese Cups.I just checked and their is Soy Lecithin.Doesn't tell how much.Just the ingredient.With that I don't think to much.

    I was drinking Ensure a couple years ago.I was wanting to gain a few pounds and thought this would be a quick way. Even though I knew we shouldn't eat soy.I just wanted a few lbs9people were commenting about my weight lossj.I did mention the Ensure to the doctor and she said NO.It has soy.I think the ensure is loaded with soy but a small candy bar isn't as bad. Never tells you how much soy and how much of the other ingredients are in what we eat. The candy bars I eat but the Ensure I quit drinking.Glad it was just a few weeks.My doctor did say moderate soy(like a cookie) is fine 

    Like someone said Everything we eat has soy.I look at the labels I know. The only healthy things would be fruits and vegetables. Meats also.

    There is a family history of Breast Cancer.4 of us have been dx.A very high risk. My cancer was DCIS non invasive and Stage 0 but I need to be careful.
