Hello and thankyou for your words of support.
Unfortunately - I live in Scotland and there are no Gilda's Clubs here.
We DO however, have 'MAGGIE' centres that do just about the same job.
Thanks.

As a cancer survivor (for now), let me add a message of support for what
you must going through, in addition to the posts of those who have already
helped.

If you must avoid phytoestrogens, then I would suggest exploring the
possibility of Chinese teas that can be enjoyed without creamers, just to
be on the safe side. That's pretty much what I did -- masalai chai made
with soy (or even almond milk) just doesn't taste as rewarding to me ...

BTW, I don't know if you have a Gilda's Club accessible to you, but I make
a practice of recommending them to everyone who's going through this. They
have done a lot for me & provide useful information and instruction, such
as many doctors, with all the best intentions and skill, simply don't have
(or, being mortal themselves, cannot relate to full-time) -- what it feels
like to be where you are. A list of clubs can be found at:

Some emotional support is as necessary as medical skill in cases such as
ours.
