Hello,
I am 46 and was diagnosed with breast cancer recently. 9 days ago I had lumpectomy. All is healing well. Today I got the great news that my lymph nodes are negative. So I am wondering if it is OK to have a drink tonight to celebrate? Not going mad, but 2 glasses of wine. Any advice be welcome.
Hello Libra1975,
Thank you for your post. I am sorry to read that you have had a recent breast cancer diagnosis. It is good that you are healing well and have received such wonderful news that the cancer had not spread to your nodes. Your Breast Care Nurse in the hospital or the consultant would be best placed to advise you about consuming a small amount of alcohol at this time.
Hope this is helpful.
Kind Regards,
Cancer Nurse
