My particular breast cancer was NOT hormone driven according to the doctors.  It also was NOT genetic though my mother had it also....a different kind...but that was tested too.

I saw real doctors at a research hospital/university.

As far as I know, most iron supplements are entirely heme iron. So taking them is worse (when it comes to cancer) than eating red meat, since only about 20% of iron in red meat is heme iron (the rest is the good free iron).

It was an oncologist who told me to take low dose iron supplement.

Well, duh, FA is obviously more knowledgeable than your oncologist.

It’s cute the way he prefaces so many things with ‘as far as I know’. Very telling.

Before anyone judges those who eat meat, just remember that vegans can't participate in oral sex.

Probably heme. Free iron is not good for you.

I think that would depend on the diet of the rimmee.

Why wouldn't free iron (found in lentil, spinach, white meat, fish...) be good for you?
