Breast cancer recurrence / metastasis and alcohol
#breastcancer #thankscancer
Women who have had a diagnosis of breast cancer (particularly those who have had oestrogen-positive breast cancer) are advised to stick to no more than 5 units of alcohol a week by the World Cancer Research Fund.
Note: 1 glass of wine (175 ml) is about 2.3 units. So that is only 2 glasses of wine a week. Yikes!
