A member asked:
If receiving chemo treatment can you have a alcohol now and again or not at all?

It depends...: This depends entirely on the particular type of chemotherapy, which drugs, etc. Some are fine with alcohol, others maybe not. The doctor treating you will have the answer. Good luck!

Yea but: Moderation, on glass every now and then should be fine but overdoing it would be very bad. A reasonable question to discuss with your doctor because of the cancer and type of chemo will have an effect.
