• Hi Sharon, I am a 44 year old breast cancer patient. I've gone through 20 wks of chemo, 3 surgeries and 7 weeks of radiation. I'd like to find a new gynecologist that is familiar with the breast cancer treatments and can help me get my "gynecological" life back to good health. My current gynecologist is great, but she is clearly not familiar with the side effects and issues associated with breast cancer treatment. My oncologist is Dr Raj and my surgeon is Dr Markus. Thank you! Joanne

• Hello, I've been taking flaxseed oil for about a year one teaspoon a day. I now believe it has been rancid most of the time. Today i found out that consumption of rancid oil is associated with cancer. What are my odds for developing cancer due to this? Thanks.
