Hey @Kombigirl well it's a very common question and from my perspective there's no need to give it up unless you want to. They have listed the risk factors of different things but honestly, there is NO LINK between any particular food drink or anything else. I was told this when I did a rehab program by a Team of people including a OT, Psychologist, Dietician at the Epworth Hospital, who said, they are all minority studies and they only recommend not having it as they do for all other illnesses.
So Ive been on this path for 6yrs, worst luck! and Ive had a recurrence 2yrs ago, and NO it wasnt to do with my diet or anything else. I have a social drink now so not alot but because Chemo killed my taste for it LOL. I still enjoy a wine whenever I want :) and I love chocolate too, lol. I do exercise but only as I can as its been a long road to recovery from treatment. I feel pretty good considering :)
So change up what makes you feel good only, not for any other reason, most friends/family mean well but they only regurgitate what they hear. It doesnt discriminate and incredibly healthy people get Breast Cancer that have never had a drink in their life, so its a personal choice. Do whats right for you but dont get hung up on it. :)
Good luck with your results, at least you will have some direction, knowledge is power and helps so much!
