Re: Could Aspirin be a Viable Adjuvant Treatment for Cancer?

Hi Hopeful,

I have been taking a low dose aspirin for some months now after reading about its benefits but maybe I should be taking the normal dose not low if I read this article correctly. Wouldn't it be great to have such a low cost drug that works on all our doorsteps regardless of country!
Thanks for posting
