Aspirin Reduces Cancer Risk

[PaulaJedi]

Studies have been done showing that aspirin reduces cancer risk and recurrence. My oncologist told me to take a low dose daily, so I am. It apparently helps all kinds of cancer, including breast cancer, colon cancer, etc. It also helps prevent blood clots and some heart problems.

I'm all for it. I'm taking my baby dose daily.

I didn't know aspirin helps prevent cancer. I take the low dose 81mg daily, which acts as a blood thinner for my post heart attack treatment.

My Oncologist told me to take it. Wasn't going to argue! Looks like you already have some protection.

Another negative side effect of aspirin is that it can cause hearing loss. But don't just take my word for it. Look it up and see for yourself.

"At high doses, aspirin and other salicylates may also cause high-pitch tinnitus and hearing loss in both ears."

81 mg is a small dose. They call it a "baby" dose.

Not necessarily so. Everyone will experience a different tolerance level. I suppose smaller people will have a lower tolerance level. And then you can also go to YouTube and do a before and while under the influence hearing test to verify this for yourself.

I'd rather have some hearing loss than die of cancer.
