Hi

I went for my results yesterday, oncotype test was low so no chemotherapy. Have to have x10 sessions of radiotherapy, been given letrozole for 5 yrs and Zometa every 6 months for 3 yrs depending on visit to dentist.

I was  just wondering, can you have alcohol with these treatments, I don’t mean regularly as not a big drinker and have always been a lightweight, never been able to handle more than 4 or 5 without feeling sick lol, but have a wedding in a few months and was just wondering if you have to give it up completely.

Thank you in advance

love and hugs xx

    All things in moderation! I love red wine and haven’t had a drink since mastectomy in Feb BUT did have 2 glasses couple of days before chemo..purely for medicinal purposes! 

  • Hi, yes I think I’ll have a couple at the wedding, depending on how I am with the side effects, purely medicinal of course, surely we deserve a bit of normality now and again Slight smile
