Alcohol did you give up?
Hi everyone, Tomorrow I meet my specialists and get my formal diagnosis. At this stage all I know is I have BC with lymph node involvement. Anyway I'm a every night red wine drinker and I am getting...
Well here's something to ponder, my Mum had Breast Cancer at 40, she drank heavily and NEVER saw it again, she was 26 years free, she passed away unrelated. I got Breast Cancer at 43, not genetic, I didnt drink post diagnosis and I had a recurrence!!! at 47, so that blows that theory LOL. Honestly ladies, I probably have a wine once a month purely as treatment killed it for me, I love it when I enjoy a few glasses and I certainly don't worry that its going to cause a recurrence at all. Its all about moderation, alcohol in general they'll tell you isnt good for you, BC is no different to anything else. Regardless of what studies say, they really dont have enough evidence and that came from many specialists at the Epworth Hospital. x
