Alcohol did you give up?

It gave me up, chemo first of all altered my taste buds so wine tasted awful, then the 2nd chemo cocktail killed off my taste buds altogether so not really much point. 6 months without alcohol altered both my taste for it and my frequency (my taste buds did come back!). Most medicos will warn against alcohol except in small quantities with lots of alcohol free days, as a given, not just anti cancer. Those who have given up drinking will remind you alcohol is a known carcinogenic. The general view is that too much of a good thing is a bad thing - fat, alcohol, salt, processed meats etc. I drink a glass or two occasionally, but I feel better, have lost weight and am generally fitter on a reduced intake. Understand how you feel at the minute but see how you go. If you have chemo and lose the taste for a glass of the red, cutting back can be easier than you think. Best wishes for tomorrow.
