When I was on folfox and now I’m folfiri my oncologist said I could have a couple drinks at the end of my 2week cycle if I wanted. She advised not drinking heavily and not doing it during the first part of my cycle when I was getting the actual drugs, not that I would have wanted to then.
I do have the odd drink or two as she approved, sometimes it takes my mind off everything, sometimes I just crave something to drink that doesn’t taste funny. I find my taste of water for a while after every treatment tastes different, but for some reason beer always tastes normal.
