I was referring to carbonated beverages after radiation with stinging referrence only - not causing cancer. Thanks for the info. My husband isn't wanting to read anything about all of this and he doesn't know what to expect in many ways. So, I am checking things out and I will at least have some idea as to what might be next etc...his attitude is, if he knows too much he might think it is happening to him (he has done that in the past). He is only 40 so he has a, "okay I have it, now let's have treatment and be done with it." That's great he has that attitude -but,he still has no idea what could possibly lay ahead. I am sure I will worry enough for the both of us, but I do try and let it go too.

Thanks for the info on alcohol and sodas. I might be asking a few more questions if I think of them.
