My mother has oral cancer and is drinking her way through cancer treatment. Although I know I have zero controll over this — what are her chances of coming thru cancer if she continues to drink?
What are some of the risks and complications?
Thanks…
Best Answer: The doctor won't want her to drink, and I'll bet as the chemo progresses a little more she probably won't be able to. Nausea is one of the side effects of Chemo and also excessive alcohol consumption, so I'm thinking she won't be keeping the liquor down.

Hum mm she is drinking now but after the nausea kicks in and the bad taste in her mouth, the thick saliva she will stop
check with her doctor or just tell her doctor privately what she is doing and then he can tell her the medical reasons why she must stop
Believe me she won’t believe you if you tell her to stop ( boyfriend a drinker/alcoholic) but ask doctor to exaggerate the effects of drinking during chemo I know that wrong but you want to save her life right
