Ask your oncologist: Even though ovarian cancers are not caused by hormones, i would still ask your oncologist.

Maybe: I need to be careful not to encourage "heavy" drinking. Drinking occasionally, or in moderation should not be harmful to the kidneys in most cases (..there are exceptions to every rule). Some believe it may even be beneficial (I'm talking 1 maybe 2 drinks). Heavier drinking can lead to problems (often affecting the liver, or pancreas) but kidneys as well as it can increase blood pressure.
