Newly diagnosed - Thoughts about drinking alcohol

I was diagnosed in January 2014. I've attached my clinical history. Throughout my treatments and subsequent "off" times, my medical team has never told me to abstain, rather, as in diet, moderation.

So, some nights it's a glass of wine, other nights a beer or two, an old fashioned or something else I make (my friends always say "you have the ingredients to make that...!? My wife "complains" about the cabinet space my liquor takes up, though she likes the Cosmos I make!)

So, I say go ahead and have that drink!

As others have said, not a medical trained person, talk with your medical team and do your homework.

Thanks for sharing your details! Your thoughts about alcohol are helpful too. I’ll def be checking with my doc to confirm i can truly enjoy the cruise with the alcohol package i paid for.
