A quick question about Alcohol

Hi Nicola

Probably best that our resident alcohol tolerance experts julie and chelle answer this 

I haven't had that particulalrly type of chemotherapy, but i have drunk small quantities on others and whilst having pembro... with no effects... well aside from being smaller drinking very little and found, I am now a very cheap date 

Thanks for that, that's really useful   There's a lot to be said for being a cheap date unless it's your round 

Personally I think all cancer treatment is difficult, and you should have a little bit of whatever you fancy, because basically we deserve it. Of course this is my opinion and not a medical one so might be best to check with her oncology team. 

Nicola,  sure is. Maybe i can put it on my dating profile

Cheers - I think she'll ask her team, but I agree with you - a little of what you fancy is a good thing.  

Hi,

one of the first questions I asked my oncologist when prescribed immunotherapy (Pembro) was “ can I still have a glass of wine” He laughed, I suppose because with all the questions to ask, mine was about a glass of wine. He told me that I could, but obviously not to excess, which isn’t me anyway.

Got to get priorities sorted, right!!!

The next time you see your oncologist, ask, I wouldn’t want to advise, you what to do. All oncologist have different opinions, but I’m going with what mine said, “happy days” 

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop question” (Albert Einstein)

Brill - agree totally.  Priorities need to be sorted!  thanks so much for your help
