Message for Fantan Hi Fantan

I just read on another thread that you are taking soya as well as tamoxifen…I hate to tell you this (we have enough to cope with) but I recently found a report on the internet of some research that suggests that soya can interfere with the function of tamoxifen. I can’t give you the web reference but I expect you will find it if you Google it. On the other hand …it was only one bit of research…

BCC moderator can you help us with this one ?

thanks

Kate

tamoxifen and soya Hi Kate
Have just spent a confusing time reading several reports on tamoxifen and soya. It seems there are as many reports that say soya helps tamoxifen and prevention of a recurrance, as there are which say the opposite!
I cut dairy out of my diet several years ago for other reasons (I’m much less mucousy now) and have substituted soya milk and yogurt. I’m not too strict so if I’m out I will have the occasional creamy dessert!
I think that while the jury’s out on this issue I’m going to carry on as I have been as I’m not taking huge amounts of soya. It’s all about balance isn’t it?
Thanks again for the info and it will be interesting if BCC’s breast care nurses can shed any light on this issue.
Take care
