    My wife

    used to drink margaritas on her off week of FOLFOX.  Only one or two.  Didn't seem to matter one way or the other.  Doc didn't seem to mind.

    Wine is a carcinogen, as is

    Wine is a carcinogen, as is barbeque from a grill, so I vote no.  It's not a carcinogen when you don't have cancer but it is when you do so skip and take a sleeping pill.  Google.......   

    Substances in wine can cause cancer, but levels are low for moderate drinkers. The heart-healthy benefits of one or two glasses of wine per day are well-established, but a new study finds that alcoholic beverages also contain several different known carcinogens.

    Putting up with the bag

    I've been wearing my "bag" for about 6 months and I've learned to accept it - almost forget at times.  It was pretty unpleasant until I began thinking of it in the same way I used to change our kid's diapers many year ago.  Can be a bit gross at times, but when it is all cleaned and changed, it is OK.  People tell me they swim with their bag attached - not likely to happen in my case.  Even though it would work and I really miss swimming, I think it might bother other swimmers to see it.

    Good that yours will go away - mine is permanent, but a necessry evil of the entire experience.  I do warn people like TSA pat down folks to be careful while they are patting or they might have an unpleasant surprise. Undecided
