Re: Alcohol link to breast cancer recurrence
I've read a number of different reports on the BC-alcohol link but none have been clear about whether the general conclusions apply to HER2+ cancers. This latest report seems to suggest the link between alcohol and BC is in the way alcohol can affect circulating estrogen, so is there also a link with occurrence/recurrence of ER-/HER2+? And somewhere I read that folic acid supplements mitigate the risk . . . or am I just looking for an excuse to continue my imbibing?
