Hi everyone,

I have another question. My husband Ron is 2 months post radiation. His throat is healing but still very painful, he's back to work about 4 days/week, hasn't put on any weight yet (he lost 40 lbs during treatment), but is slowly getting stronger. This past weekend we went out and he had 1 cocktail (rum and 7 up) along with a big glass of water. He just sipped it, it didn't hurt him, and we had a nice evening. We happened to tell one of his relatives about it, and boy did we get raked through the coals over Ron having one drink. Ron has asked his Doctor's about it, and they said it's OK to have an occasional cocktail. In my opinion, if the Doctor's say it's OK, and with all the hell he has been through, I don't see what's the problem in having an occational drink. Now I may be entirely wrong in my thinking, which is why I'm asking this question. Your thoughts and opinions would be appreciated!

Thanks, Shelley
