It depends to what body site is receiving radiation therapy. If you are having radiation therapy to your pelvis, then alcohol can worsen your side effects so I would recommend holding off on alcohol till at least a month after completion of your radiation therapy.
The duration of abstinence from alcohol after radiotherapy can vary, so it is best to consult with your healthcare provider for specific guidance. To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!
