Good evening lovely group
could you please let me know if any one has been taken lower dose of Aspirin as a trial to prevent recurrence after surgery and all treatments
I just come across of couple articles as a research regarding Aspirin, Vitamin D, cod liver oils are playing some kind role to prevent a recurrence of bowel cancer but it’s only early days as
I think I have seen someone post before regarding Aspirin but can not find it who was posted.
thanks

Hi Natallia,
I've just had a look at recent scientific publications and it seems that there are positive results with low dose aspirin (80-300mg daily) and turmeric/curcumin (I take about 3g/day, but difficult to say what is the optimal dose). Vit D levels seem to have an effect on prognosis but trials haven't shown any benefit with supplements for risk of recurrence. Here are some links:

Hi Cecile.
thank you
I asked my doctor as well she said she can not tell me to take as no protocol for that but I can if I wanted and I think regarding Aspirin 75 mg a day it’s ok. Cod liver I was told by dr protect my liver. I got cod liver oil with turmeric tablets as well.
thanks for reply

Might be wise to get expert advice re. taking aspirin over a long term, as even low doses can cause stomach ulcers.
