Hello again, Kathy. I am really not following you around (grin). About alcohol, my radiation oncologist said an occasional drink will not hurt. It was over 100 degrees today and for the first time in well more than a year I had an ice cold beer, I think just to prove I could. It tasted really, truly great, but I don't think I will do it again. If giving up that one thing will tip the balance for my long-term survival, I won't miss it. As there isn't a lot that I can do in that regard, I have decided that at least I can do this. I think the jury is out on whether or not even a little alcohol is harmful, which I guess means it is up to each patient. Not a lot of help, am I?
