Yes...it extremely bad.
Sometimes foods lose all taste for weeks. Drinking alcohol will completely over tax kidney liver and spleen function. You gotta be clean inside.
Doc told me my , in shape body at 46 years old was a huge factor in my success with chemo because I never smoked or drank in my life, I was a triathlete 30 years. and marathoner. My body responded immediately to chemo. Most people were living 3 to 5 years. Im going on 19 years. No signs of getting worse.. And I still run everyday. Still have the cancer, but my great immunity is kicking its butt. I got cancer from pesticides.
Drink green tea alot... drink iced green tea I drink 40 oz of iced green tea daily with lemon or lime and stevia. It's excellent. Peppermint tea at night.
