Hi all

Since being diagnosed with ILC i had to stop HRT which is agony due to joint pain and it will get worse once i start Endocrine Theraphy.  Would taking collagen daily help as ive read so many different reviews online.  If so from your personal experience which is best, powder or capsules.

  • Hi Mightyduck12.  I was taking collagen gummies.  I have heard so much conflicting information if it is safe to take with treatment.  I did ask my oncologist and she said it was okay but many people say it is not so I stopped.  I would talk to your team and ask their advice before taking it.  I find gentle excercise helps with my joint pain (and I have lots).  I do a lot of walking and also Tai Chi.
