Hi advice pls?! Going out for lunch today I start my treatment on the 7th nov do you think it’ll be ok to have a few glasses of red wine?
Hi GreenNanny
I definitely would! It shouldn’t be a problem at all. Make the most of normal times before your treatment starts.

Hi GreenNanny
What a lovely gift to receive from your family and such a thoughtful thing they’ve done! I hope you will enjoy every single thing from it, starting with your meal today.
There are lots of absolutely fabulous people in this group to hold your hand and help you through this. I pitch in sometimes in this group when I feel I have something to add, and I’ve found it to be amazing, full of support and kindness.
I’m glad if I can help show that no matter what, you can get through and come out the other side. I believe we are all brave, and we can find an inner strength we didn’t even know we had.
Have a wonderful time, and enjoy the wine! I’m currently having a glass of white.

Just catching up and I hope you had a lovely time with your family and enjoyed those few glasses of wine! My sense of taste changed so much during the chemo/radiotherapy there were very few foods I fancied and alcohol was completely off the table. It's completely back now !

Hi Irene I’m pleased you’re enjoying it again it’s was lovely however I didn’t enjoy the wine at all. Not sure if it’s nerves or the tumor that’s changed my tastes. It tasted off I asked my husband and youngest son to try it and they thought it was fine so I tried a different wine and couldn’t drink that either. Tasted very strange awful after taste left in my mouth. But I still had a good time althoUgh I was so uncomfortable I did enjoy being with them. Special times are precious x
