Re: twice weekly aspirin use may decrease bc survivor's risk of metastasis by 62-71%
I take one 325 mg. aspirin almost everyday of the week. I've been doing this since having my bilateral DIEP in June of 09. My plastic surgeon wanted me to take one 325 mg. aspirin for 30 days following the surgery - for obvious reasons - however, he said that he takes one 325 mg. aspirin daily for colon and heart health....and said if I wanted to continue he would say it was a good thing. So I have.
Thankfully, I have no stomach issues doing this. None whatsoever.
After reading this article however, I will cut out 2 or 3 days of taking the aspirin to probably 4 to 5 days a week.
It's very encouraging news for us and it's also good for our health for other reasons.....
