Regarding alcohol
I didnt have chemo so alcohol still tastes the same as ever to me. I never really liked the taste at all, the effects are more the point for me.

I only started partying when the kids left home and I had already grown bored with it and started cutting down just before I was diagnosed.
I doubt whether it caused my cancer , but Im trying to be "good" to theoretically lower the chances of recurrence and for my health in general. I also find drinking worsens my hot flushes so thats a good reason to do less of it. But I wouldnt like other people telling me how to live my life, thats for sure.
