I had two beers with dinner a couple of weeks ago and they were great! I did have some stinging, but not any more so than the non-alcohol variety that I drink from time to time. It is very frustrating that the Dr's don't seem to really know anything for sure about drinking alcohol except that it is a cause/catalyst for SCC. I have been told that it is ok to drink moderately, but perhaps not until after my second year of treatment passes. I have also been told not to drink at all! I guess it is better to err on the side of caution until further notice. It is a blessing just to be alive, but it is also human to want to enjoy things that life has to offer. I hope that research will get more answers to this and more importantly find a cure for this cancer soon!
