    Interesting...Doctors never want you to go the easy way, especially when it involves natural things. There is no money in it.

    Cahjah75 has it worked for
    Cahjah75 has it worked for you? Was the Dr. OK with you taking it? So I see they have different mgs. too. Interesting. Did you have to be on tamoxifin? Just wondering if these two drug would make a good mix.

    I think
    I think it makes sense when not in chemo. However, aspirin can lead to bleeding and when our platelet count goes down we bleed easily also. So baby aspririn might be something you have to avoid due to chemo.

    My onc told me to take it, he said a study showed it helps to decrease breas cancer. When he tells me to take something I listen because he doesnt believe in taking lots of stuff. he did not suggest this when I was on chemo but after.

    I've been taking 81 mg for at least 10 years, maybe 15. Haven't had a heart attack or stroke, but got breast cancer.
