In past I was a patient of Hodgkin’s disease 1st stage. I gone through Chemotherapy (4 cycles) + radiotherapy (26 settings) after that I recovered & my all reports were positive.
I want to ask after a period of 6 months is it harmful to take alcohol.

stage 1 hodgkins diseas is cured in more than 90% of cases. U seem to have received aggresive treatment with 4 ccycles of chemo and radiation. watch out for tretment related complication like lung damage, heart problems and increasaed risk of 2nd cancers, down the road.
Regarding alcohol, if you are not an alcoholic then go ahed have a drink and enjoy :))

Ask your doctor. He will know how your recovery is going, and if your liver has recovered from the burden of chemotherapy. If you are ready, remember that 1-2 drinks per day may be good for the heart, but any more are likely to produce adverse health effects.

My brother died many years ago of Hodgkin's disease. I wasn't
born yet, but my parents said, he tried so hard to live. His pictures
shows a handsome young man. He died at 16 years old.
I don't know why when you have been handed such a wonderful
gift of health you even think of alcohol. Get out there and live. Why
for one moment would you want your mind fogged with alcohol?

Alcohol is harmful is you are completely healthy. Why on earth would you want to take such a chance for liver damage when the chemo and radiation probably did a number on all your organs.
With such a blessing of a new life, take care to live life to the fullest, not soused in poison.
