I've mentioned this one before, but the literature given to me by the hospital regarding post rad healing and nutrition suggests a Guiness a day might be a good thing, apparently Guiness has lots of stuff to help gain weight, etc. I suppose the closer to Dublin you are, the better it is. Anyway, asked both the ENT and Oncologist, both said an occasional glass of wine or beer would be ok, stay away from the hard stuff.

Robert, I can identify with your feeling about cigarrette smoke, here in China it's rare to find someone who doesn't smoke, and there's no such thing as no smoking areas. But then the pollution here will probably get me before the second hand smoke does.
