Hello, I'm new to the site and I would like to hear your advice and thoughts regarding alcohol consumption.

I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma a few months ago and since then I had to change my lifestyle almost entirely.

However, I do like to treat myself to a glass of wine or a beer every once in a while but I'm afraid that it will affect my condition and my doctor hasn't told me anything about drinking alcohol or the risks related to it.

I would like to know if I can still drink alcohol from time to time or is it completely forbidden?

Thank you for your answers and have a nice day!

My myeloma specialist has said low to moderate drinking is OK

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
