Low dose aspirin
Does anyone take low dose aspirin in a preventative fashion? Reports keep coming out talking about low dose aspirin being beneficial in preventing different kinds of cancer. In the paper today, Toronto Star the column that they have The You Docs (Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen )have said that studies have shown that women with breast cancer who regularly take aspirin are 64% less likely to die. It says that the aspirin shrinks estrogen production, starving breast cancers that feed on this hormone and I have seen other reports about low dose aspirin being beneficial. I put in a call to my oncologist's
office and the secretary said that there were still not a lot of studies out there and he said I could if I wanted to. I checked with the oncologist pharmacist and she said it would not interfere with the Letrolzole. I feel like I would like to take it as my breast cancer is estrogen positive. Does anyone here have any comments or thoughts about this. Thanks Lois.
