I haven't had one since January. I forgot to ask my onc if I can. I'm on Arimidex. I've read yes's and no's. Do you or don't you? And, dry or sweet, red or white?

    Sue--I like my wine
    I'm on Arimidex and my onc. says--have a glass of wine or two (just not five or six). I like her thinking. My favs are Pinot Noir for a red, and Chardonnay for a white. I agree with Chen--I'm not giving up everything!

    When we meet in NY, let's discuss this over a glass of wine!

    Hugs, Renee

    My oncologist says no, but, I do enjoy a good glass of wine. Quality of life wins over quantity in this case.

    My fav is Chardonnay but a good Pinot would be my second choice. I agree, quality of life is important to me. If I want a glass of wine, then I have one!!

    I rarely drink and although I just finished chemo I'm having a glass of red wine for Christmas. Rads don't start until January. Cheers!

    Mm mmm mmm! So, my choice was
    Valpolicella, naturally - It went so well with the Progresso soup I had for dinner! I smiled with every sip, thinking of all of you, with whom I would love to share a bottle.

    (Really) warmest hugs,
