Here is the link to Deanne's post if anyone is interested. I totally respect your choice not to drink Deanne absolutely. I read the cancer council article position statement that you mentioned and it does mention your comments, and as I said was not at all having a dig for your lifestyle choice at all and apologise if you were upset by this. I understand you were just trying to put the recommendation out there from what you've read to others, but there is so much information out there about this and like the other ladies have said non drinkers have been diagnosed with breast cancer too. And I still don't believe alcohol in moderation is harmful. and I asked my oncologist about this also and he also said its quite ok to drink in moderation as there is no conclusive link. Any way I respect all who are on here and whatever choices they make to get through this shitty time and I will eat healthy, exercise and get enough rest, and of course I always worry about recurrence, if I eat this will it come back or if I do that will it come back , if I don't do this or that will it come back etc . And I totally understand why you want to give up alcohol after reading it Deanne as the first sentence says alcohol causes cancer. There are so many articles out there that say similar things, eggs are bad one year then good the next, I read one that says bacon is carcinogenic! and bloody hell who wants to give up bacon! but I wont stop living over it that's for sure, Margie :)
