Can I drink alcohol?

Sometimes, in small amounts. It depends on the treatment you are on and on the rest of your health.

Ask your team before you do, because some treatments and alcohol do not mix at all.

Written by two physicians. Checked against patient information from the US National Cancer Institute and Cancer Research UK.
