Thanks for that. I only know that I am on chemo for breast ca. Don't have my bloods.

What do you think about adding extra protein to my diet. I am not a big meat eater at all and everyone stresses the need to eat loads of protein. Apparently unfortunately tofu is out as it has oestrogen enhancing implacations.

Thanks,

Detailed Answer:
Hello
welcome again
Extra protein is always good unless you can very easily digest it.
Other than protein you should take multivitamins and all essential minerals
you should take spouts, egg, milk and dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables.

Hope this answers your question
