Absolutely — here’s a comprehensive, evidence-based list of foods known to help fight cancer (by supporting cellular repair, reducing inflammation, and balancing hormones). I’ll group them for clarity, and note ones especially relevant for hormone-positive breast cancer like yours (triple-positive).

===== 🥦 Cruciferous Vegetables (Top Anti-Cancer Group) =====

Rich in sulforaphane, indole-3-carbinol, and other compounds that help the body detoxify carcinogens and lower estrogen activity.
Eat several servings per week.
* Broccoli (especially broccoli sprouts)
* Cauliflower
* Brussels sprouts
* Kale
* Cabbage (especially red)
* Arugula
* Bok choy

🩷 Why they matter: These support estrogen metabolism and may block estrogen receptors in hormone-sensitive cancers.

===== 🍅 Colorful Vegetables & Fruits (Antioxidant Powerhouses) =====

Contain carotenoids, lycopene, vitamin C, and flavonoids that protect DNA and reduce oxidative stress.
* Tomatoes (especially cooked or with olive oil – lycopene)
* Carrots
* Sweet potatoes
* Red, orange, and yellow bell peppers
* Spinach and dark leafy greens
* Berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries)
* Citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruit – note: grapefruit may interact with some meds)
* Pomegranates (helpful in estrogen-positive cancer research)

===== 🌾 Fiber-Rich Foods =====

Help remove excess estrogen and toxins through the digestive system.
* Oats, barley, quinoa, brown rice
* Flaxseeds (freshly ground for lignans that help block estrogen)
* Chia seeds
* Lentils and beans (especially black, navy, and garbanzo beans)

🩷 Tip: One tablespoon of ground flaxseed daily can help reduce circulating estrogen levels naturally.

===== 🐟 Omega-3–Rich Foods =====

Anti-inflammatory fats that may inhibit tumor growth and improve treatment tolerance.
* Wild-caught salmon
* Sardines
* Mackerel
* Walnuts
* Chia and flaxseeds

===== 🌰 Nuts & Seeds =====

Contain antioxidants, phytoestrogens (in a balancing way), and healthy fats.
* Almonds
* Walnuts
* Pumpkin seeds
* Flaxseeds
* Sunflower seeds

===== 🍵 Anti-Inflammatory Herbs & Beverages =====
* Green tea (EGCG helps inhibit cancer cell growth)
* Turmeric (curcumin is powerfully anti-inflammatory; take with black pepper for absorption)
* Garlic and onions (contain allicin and sulfur compounds that fight carcinogens)
* Ginger
* Rosemary and oregano (contain rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid)

===== 🍄 Medicinal Mushrooms =====

Boost immune function and natural killer cell activity.
* Shiitake
* Maitake
* Reishi
* Turkey tail

===== 🧄 Other Protective Foods =====
* Garlic (studied extensively for breast, colon, and stomach cancer prevention)
* Olives and extra virgin olive oil (anti-inflammatory and antioxidant)
* Fermented foods: sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, kefir (support gut health and immune balance)

===== 🚫 Foods to Limit (Promote Inflammation or Hormone Imbalance) =====
* Processed meats (bacon, sausage, deli meats)
* Charred or grilled meats
* Refined sugars and flours
* Alcohol (especially important in breast cancer prevention)
* Highly processed oils (soy, corn, canola when refined)

Would you like me to make this into a weekly meal guide or shopping list tailored to your low-estrogen, high-protein goals during Kadcyla treatment? That would help you apply this list practically.
