Hello

Hi lol I don’t see why not. I had a red wine when I was on chemo as I could drink anything cold. 

Good luck on your journey. X

Hi Jagman.

What a lovely compliment you got .

ASA = "American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Classification System is often used by UK anaesthetists to establish a person’s functional capacity"

You can read more here if you want to:

ASA 1 = A normal healthy patient. Another compliment I guess.

Best wishes for your forthcoming treatment plan. I had chemo Tabs back in summer of 2021, for 5 mths....& continued having my bottle of Sauvignon Blanc every day - without any side effects.

Hi Jagman

Forgot to answer about having a pint. My oncologist advised avoiding alcohol due to it's impact on liver while cancer still lerking during treatment ... but went on to say that an occassional tipple is fine.

It will also depend on how you fair regarding chemo sides - alcohol may be the last thing you want.

I guess the other option is choose 0% or very low alcohol beer and get best of both worlds.

If you have any concerns, best to ask your Oncologist first. Yet also, my maxim was always listen to my own body - & how it tolerated certain food, alcohol during chemo treatment. I never think it's a one size fits all generic answer. I think you will get to know what or what does not suit you, whilst on chemo.

Hello Jagman,  Sorry to hear your news but you are joining many friends. I was diagnosed with no previous symptoms just over a year ago. Chemotherapy which was successful, Radiotherapy and surgery to remove the lower end of the bowel and leave me with a permanent stoma seems like a big mountain to climb, but I climbed it because the alternative was unacceptable. Not completely out of the woods with some recurrence of secondary liver tumour ( being watched ) but living a full life, going on cruise holidays and enjoying my grandchildren fully. Also singing and performing on stage with two choirs in Bath. It’s not the end, it just a different path. Enjoy the pint(s) , I’m personally a white wine drinker, but live life to the full. Don’t be afraid

all best wishes.

Hi Jagman

As a fellow Jag and pint person I asked the same question when I had chemo. I was told that in moderation it was ok but I probably wouldn't want it as my taste would change.

In the end I didn't imbibe while I was on chemo, I had an ileostomy and pints seem to increase the flow too much.

Hope all the treatment goes ok, mine has worked so far!

Cheers
