In my chemo class, they said
In my chemo class, they said 1 glass would be ok. But it should not be immediately before or after a treatment. Chemo is already very hard on your liver, and the alcohol makes it work harder. But as already said, ask your doctor. Each of us are different and on different meds.

I am not about to tell
I am not about to tell anyone what to do, but I avoid alcohol now as the studies have just piled up with bad news re alcohol and breast cancer. My physician sister warned me about this some time ago, but I only saw 1 or 2 studies implicating alcohol.
Now there are many, many, many studies now. I have Stage 4 and want to do everything I can possibly can to stay healthy.
I would now attach links for you, but my stupid computer freezes every time I try and copy and paste. What is that about?!0 -

My oncologist said "NO ALCOHOL" at all. I am not a drinker anyway, but i do love an occational wine or Margarita, but so far I do stay away from any type of alcohol.0 -

I'm not really a wine girl, would rather just have a cold beer. My Onco said it was fine to have one or two, if I could tolerate it, but have to say none of it tastes much good right now! Oh well, sounds like I don't need it anyway.0 -
both my oncologists said no wine, beer, or alcohol of any kind
both my oncologists said no wine, beer, or alcohol of any kind while going through chemo. fortunately for me, that was not a problem. i enjoy a glass of wine on special occasions, but have seen too many nasty drunks, so choose not to imbibe0 -
My Oncologist said No No No
My Oncologist said No No No while going through chemo. Chemo and all the other meds I was on were taking their tole on my liver so she said not to add alcohol on top of it. They tested my liver every week before treatment and it held up well, which surprised me. I don't drink now but once upon a time ago I put my liver to the test.

My oncologist said that drinking alcohol within reason was fine for me. But, that is just my oncologist and it is me. I do like a beer or a glass of wine, and, don't plan on giving it up.

I didn't have chemo, so, I don't know if that makes a difference. I have an occasional glass of wine or two. I enjoy it and if I gave up everything that is suppose to cause cancer, I would live in a bubble.
Do what your own doctor says and what you feel is right for you.0 -
I am struggling with this issuedee1962 said:mine also said NO NO NO....
mine also said NO NO NO....
I'm done with chemo. While I was in treatment, my oncologist said a glass or two of wine occasionally was okay. However, I really didn't have the taste for it. Now that I'm done, I do enjoy my wine. However, with everything I'm reading recently about alcohol causing an increase in estrogen, I'm worried since my cancer with highly estrogen and progesterone receptive. It makes me angry that I can't have the wine that I do enjoy from time to time--or if I do have it, I worry.
I certainly don't want to do anything that could cause a recurrence, but I want my life back. Okay, now I'm whining (wining!).
