Hi,
Yes I saw that on an Oprah show a few weeks ago. A surgeon said that it is a preventative measure for colon cancer and heart. So I started taking 82 mg. baby aspirin. I figured it can't hurt. Also, I have heard this from other sources as well.0 -
I've also heard about baby aspirin as a possible prevention and or prevent recurrence. My oncologist put me on Celebrex after all my treatment ended, as a possible prevention for recurrence of rectal cancer. Apparently same theory as aspirin, but Celebrex is gentler to your stomach. But then the possible problems with Celebrex (in terms of heart) emerged, so I have gone off it now. But I think I took it for 1.5 yrs.
