Hi ladies

Breast cancer has taken away my left boob and my hair and I am determined it is not going to take away anything else.

My onc and dietician have no objections to moderate red wine drinking. In the UK, the government advises no more than 14 units a week (a bottle of wine is about 9 units).

Mostly I stick to this but sometimes I don't. Occasionally I worry about this but mostly I don't.

Horses for courses I guess.

Cheers!
