Re: twice weekly aspirin use may decrease bc survivor's risk of metastasis by 62-71%
It looks like a number of good links have been posted; the article I read in the "Los Angeles Times" said 81 mg.
Here is the quote pulled from the article: "The researchers did not monitor aspirin dosage, but the majority of the women taking aspirin did so for its heart benefit, and thus were taking 81 milligrams per day, less than a normal dose."
It was on page two of the article, which you can read in its entirety here: http://articles.latimes.com/2010/feb...in17-2010feb17
Hope this helps.
