Alcohol - yes or no to occasional drink?
Hi I had a lumpectomy 3 weeks ago and going through the paranoid phase re bc - this caused it, that caused it etc. As my confidence comes back and knowing that nothing I did or didn't do caused my bc ...
Hi @Erika888,
A little late to the conversation but no one can say for sure what caused the cancer so no point in beating yourself up about it - I have met vegans, vegetarians, teetotallers , people who are very calm and relaxed, people who do plenty of exercise etc, all of whom ended up with breast cancer.
Any Dr will tell you moderation is the key, often a BC diagnosis leads to a re assessment of all sorts of priorities - for myself I drastically cut down on wine ( the only alcohol I drank) and I often have a pre dinner drink of Lyres non alcoholic - there are many types , my favourite is the Lyres Agave which makes a really great Margarita.
i still love to have a nice glass of wine with a special occasion meal ( like Chardonnay with oysters or Pinot noir with duck).
Enjoy🌺
