First, my reply is based strictly on my own experience and has no scientific basis in fact whatsoever. In 2001 my husband was told he had diabetes and stopped drinking. I found it boring drinking alone (only drank wine) and also stopped. So I went five years without touching any type of alchohol when I was diagnosed in 2006 with breast cancer. The day I was diagnosed I stopped at wine store and picked up a bottle of very nice champagne. I decided if I were going to go it would be in style. I'm still drinking wine but very very little as the herceptin (or chemo), or something, has ruined its taste. I hope this changes when I finish herceptin.
