Condition analysis:
There is an increased risk of breast cancer for women who have been using birth control pills for more than five years. However due to the low amount of hormones in birth control pills today, the risk is relatively small. But if a young woman has a significant family history of Breast Cancer, her gynecologist may recommend taking a break for a year from the pill at the 5-year time frame then resuming again for another 5 years. Although evidence-based research data does not offer strong support for this standard of care, it has nevertheless become an increasingly common practice.

Instructions:
1. Lignans: The lignans are a group of phytoestrogens or chemical compounds found in the cashew, strawberries, flaxseed, seeds of sunflower and peanuts. The rate of progression of the tumors that require estrogen is slowed down by the effective inclusion of any of these items in the daily diet chart of the breast cancer patients.

2. Flax Seed: According to reports by the US National Library of Medicine, the growth of the breast cancer tumors can be reduced to a great extent by the intake of flax seeds. The high concentration of lignans, antioxidants, micronutrients, Omega 3 oil and rich fibers, help in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer patients. Ground flax seeds can be mixed along with other dietary items and taken on a daily basis for effective results.
