Check out this link. Gives you list of foods and meds to avoid while on Tamoxifen and which foods help increase the affect of it.
My onco just told me to stay off herbal supplements that help with hormone inbalance. My meal replacement shake included Maca Root....so I have to make my own shakes now.

Thank you for the article. Now I am irritated that this information was not disscussed with me by my onco.

I try to be a lot more careful about what I eat than I used to. However I refuse to give in to paranoia over every little thing. The stress from that is just as bad as ocassionally eating something that may or may not trigger cancer to come back.

Check out Whey Protein Isolate for your shakes. Mine has no RBH or antibiotics. Stay away from Soy, hand sanitizers, air fresheners, scented candles, & antibiotic hand soap!

Should we stay away from Parabens too? Im afraid to use anything that contains that. You know they say they can cause breast cancer. Ugh!
