Google news just provided a bunch of links to this - I'll put one up:

Unfortunately all the olive oil I've been eating all of my life didn't
stop breast cancer from happening to *me*, but on the other hand, the
tumor is her-2 negative which I think the article mentions. I'll be
asking my oncologist.

In the meantime, the breast cancer manual which suggested "ultra low
fat diet" is clearly not correct. They didn't point to any definitive
studies anyway.

I'm eating rather normally but trying to eat whole foods. My
acupuncturist and Western doctors agree - a wide variety of foods is
important. However the oncologist said no soy supplements and go easy
on the soy foods. Estrogen, even plant-based, not a good thing in my
case.

Snacking on almonds tonight - looks like I ought to get out the za'atar
and mix it up with olive oil to put on bread for a late night snack.

>the tumor is her-2 negative

which is what you want, btw. That's good news. Somehow the oleic acid
in olive oil seems to affect the her2neu thingie and having it be her2
negative is a good thing.
