Ever Expanding Waist line

[Juls]

Hi Paul

Forgot to say that I asked Onc. about Metformin. She doesn't prescribe it but has patients who get prescription through GP. Don't quite know what to make of this! Also asked about Ibuprofen and Aspirin. She thought aspirin might be worthwhile but not sure about Ibuprofen. Maybe her middle name should be "non-committal".

Go through the GP and try to get the Metformin. It makes sense and the drug is usually pretty safe as long
as you have good renal function.

The use of drugs like aspirin and Ibuprofen is theoretical but it makes sense. These drugs inhibit Cyclo-oxygenase enzyme and this enzyme is very active in cancer progression. The more advanced and aggressive the cancer, their will be more Cyclo-oxygenase Enzyme that can be stained in the cancer cells.

One Caveat. If you are on chemo, drugs like Aspirin and Ibuprofen can lower fever and this could mask an infection. Always speak with your doctor.

Im not sure if the low dose 81mg Aspirin could lower fever. Ill do some investigating and see what comes up
