Re: Thoughts on drinking alcohol

Good question. I was never a big drinker, socially mostly and I got breast cancer. Diet and exercise makes sense with any disease but it does not guarantee anything. Since I have been out of treatment I still drink socially and try not to beat myself up over it. We only live once so we have to enjoy something. I find that people judge me when they see me have a drink, they look at me like what r u doing u have had cancer. Cancer takes so much away from us, self esteem, energy, hair,breast etc,etc,etc. I say enjoy a drink if u feel the need. Just my opinion. Cheers.
