Hi Dr Jennifer. Can you provide some insight into if one (vegetarian) should take Omega-3 supplements during the hormonal therapy (which lasts 5 years)? Thanks

[@yerbba]

There is no reason not to take omega-3-fatty acids. There is also little evidence that omega-3-fatty acids are helpful. Omega-3 fatty acids are readily available in a wide variety of plant foods, including walnuts, flaxseeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, edamame, seaweed, and algae. Other green leafy vegetables and beans also contain small amounts.

Is Triple positive breast cancer and her2 negative are same ?

[@yerbba]

We don't generally use the term "triple positive," but what that refers to is a tumor that is positive for all of the following--ER, PR, and HER2. So a HER2-negative tumor is not "triple positive."

What are the risks if chemotherapy is started after 2 months of mastectomy because the wound is not completely recovered

[@yerbba]

Even with a delay required for wound healing, chemotherapy is still effective. We'll start chemotherapy in someone having wound healing problems up to 6 months after surgery.
