Hi Ladies
I wish I could be well informed and philosophical and help you all, however I know I drank too much before diagnosis...all relative...you know, work pressure, too tired, stressed out at work,etc etc few glasses after work to feel better....post treatment, I feel quite sick if I have more than 3 glasses a night now and that is pushing it...I usually just have 1 or if its a special occasion have 2. But I have to say its really hard when everyone is drinking and you are sitting on 1 wine. i get quite agitated now when I'm in those situations. so i now limit my social alcohol activity or I say cos of the cancer I cant drink!!! Usually people accept that. If I thought i could live on twigs and water I would. But Ive bought a new healthy eating cook book and exercising more than I have in years, so trying to balance my life.
Love to you all
