Hi - I hear so much about what to eat and drink that I am confused. If I drink about 2 glasses of wine a week - will this give me a higher percentage that my breast cancer will reoccur? I have finished radiation and am starting Femora in a week.. any suggestions greatly appreciated

- SuwalMemberThat is what I think. Would be great to here what you find out
- kmakmMemberMy understanding is a couple of glasses on the weekend isn't too much of a danger @Doodoo. But ask your oncologist. I'm going to next time I see her. K xox
- Patti_JMemberMaggie Beer also has some nice non-alcoholic wine.
- Doin_itMemberSo if I have a couple of reds on a weekend it shouldn’t be too much of a threat. Right?? Aagghh!!!! It’s enough to make a person drink...
- AfraserMemberComplexity? No, not really. It's better (much less sweet!) than grape juice, but pretty light on character. I favour red, love a temperanillo or a Sangiovese, and Edenvale isn't. The problem for me is what's an alternative glass or two, particularly with a meal? Fruit juice gets nauseating and is full of sugar, carbonated drinks ditto, mineral or soda water is better but scarcely exciting, water is pure and boring!
- SisterMember@Afraser How does Edenvale compare to normal strength wine? Is it like grape juice or does it have some complexity? (I usually drink Pinot Grigio or Sav Blanc)
- Patti_JMemberTry before you buy is always a good policy @Sister 😉.
- SisterMember@Afraser got in before me. It seems that @"Patti J"s ALTD is only available online at the moment according to their website but may be worth keeping an eye out for. Maybe Dan's should be having tastings of these things as they do for wines.
- kmakmMember@Afraser I'll go have a look at my local Dan's.
- AfraserMemberThat's the one Dan Murphy has.
