Can Soy Products Be Consumed When Diagnosed With Hormone Receptor-positive Breast Cancer?

I was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago and it was hormone positive. I didn t know until just now reading about turmeric that perhaps I shouldn t be taking it. Also do you know anything about not using soy when hormone positive? I am a vegetarian and soy is in my milk and veggie meat products.
