Hi there,
I'll quote a doctor, any doctor... lol "everything in moderation". My hubs has stage 4 NETS. If you read up on NETS alcohol is something they recommend you drink little of or not drink at all. My hubs drinks wine and occasional, sometimes more than others rum or Jack. He doesn't have any side affects from drinking alcohol but he will only have 2 glasses of wine or 2 mixed drinks at a time. Sometimes 2 to 3x a week then maybe nothing for months. He's not a heavy drinker. However, what works for one may not have the same affect on someone else. You may have side affects. If you do, don't drink as much...if they continue you may have to stop. The best thing to do is discuss it with your Dr, be honest and tell the Dr to be honest with you. Then you decide what your going to do. Also, knowledge is power. Read up on NETS. I found that it was helpful knowing as much as I could to be prepared and to help my hubs when or if he had side affects from the tumors or anything else like alcohol. Oh, and his metastastisized to his liver. His Dr never said to not drink. Just to drink in moderation and if he has side affects to stop drinking. Very simple. Lol Good luck to you and keep us posted on how alcohol in whatever quantity you choose affects you.

This was very helpful. People keep saying to read up on NETS. There is so much info out there. Can you recommend a few good places to start? Thanks.
