Some dietary changes have a preventive effect for many types of cancer. And your intake of different supplements can affect your overall health as well. In our Freeman Buddy Check 16, we have details on the supplements that are recommended and which are discouraged.
Doctors say your body can only absorb so much at a certain time. While supplements can be helpful, there are some that breast cancer patients or people who are at a high risk for breast cancer shouldn't take. And as with any medications, you should always talk with your doctor before starting anything new. Communicating with your doctor will help you both stay on the same page and determine what's best for your care.
If you would like to sign up for Buddy Check 16, you'll receive a free packet with reminders for doing your self breast exams, and other information. We also have some packets you can pick up at our station at the front desk, they are free.
