I recall during my chemo my Onc told me alcohol was fine but not the day before or day after chemo (not that I felt like drinking anyway!). I enjoy a drink at the weekends mostly and maybe once mid week with dinner and intend to continue to enjoy it, I think BC is a crap shoot as I've lost so many friends already that had a worse prognosis than I and I only quit smoking last year too! I think like everything, in moderation its fine!
