When I had breast cancer I needed a partial mastectomy plus 30 rounds of radiotherapy. I'm also taking an aromatase Inhibitor for the next 5-8 years.

During treatment I tried to eat as much protein as I could (chicken, yoghurt, nuts etc.) and plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. I didn't worry about calories at all, I just wanted as much goodness inside of me as possible.

I'm afraid I can't help you with what do eat to prevent breast cancer though....

I hope this helps and wish you and yours all the best 💐🤗💐🤗💐

An all-round healthy, balanced diet is your best bet, and a calorie level that helps you achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

The American Cancer Society has lots of info about breast cancer and diet. Some examples:

https://www.cancer.org/healthy/eat-healthy-get-active/acs-guidelines-nutrition-physical-activity-cancer-prevention.html

If during treatment, ask your treatment team if there are things you should/shouldn't eat, and be sure to tell them about any supplements you're taking (some are not good to combine with certain treatments).

For some types of breast cancer, getting regular moderate to vigorous exercise reduces risk.

I was diagnosed with stage III (locally advanced) breast cancer - 5 tumors in one breast, one in the other; had bilateral mastecomies (one simple, one modified radical), 6 months of chemo, 6 weeks of radiation, and 7.5 years of antiestrogen drugs . . . that was almost 19 years ago.

Best wishes!
