Thanks for posting this Hopeful - my doctor suggested that I start taking Asprin when she started me on tamoxifen - but I kind of forgot to do it, I will make sure I do now.

I would much rather than an asprin a day than the Femara! I would think asprin therapy could be tried in poor countries that lack the resources to buy the expensive drugs we are typically rx in the USA.

I take a low dose aspirin everyday. It's 81mg and I take Bayer. It was suggested to me by my pc, my cardiologist and my surgeon. I figure it can't hurt.
