yes, I feel that alcohol has contributed to my breast cancer. My cancer has recurred for the forth time.

I was never told there was a connection but I always felt that something was happing in my stomach when I drank. I had an uncomfortable feeling and a bloatedness. My breast cancer recurred in my abdomen wall last year. I was never told to stop drinking and was never a big drinker. I drank about one to two drinks about three times a week.

My breast cancer has now recurred for the fourth time in my liver. I have lesions ranging from 2cm to 5cm and am receiving chemo. I had previously been on Letrozole and Arimadex. These two drugs were prescribed in the past six months and both did not work one bit in stopping the cancer. They only gave me great pain. That is the side effects. Joint pains were terrible. I felt like I was walking on broken glass. I went up a shoe size due to swelling and could not wear rings due to swelling in my joints. The hot flushes were dreadful. They came very frequently and very strongly.
