Just curious if anyone added Aspirin 75mg during their treatment? I know the ADD aspirin trial is still being conducted, but I’ve read some good things about aspirin improving effectiveness of chemotherapy and also preventing metastasis of stomach cancer 

  • Hi  

    Interesting in that I had not heard about the add aspirin trial, looking at the page here though I noted 

    "Until the final results of the study are available, we would not recommend aspirin is taken over the counter outside of the trial (unless prescribed by your doctor for a clinically indicated reason), as we do not currently have definitive evidence to demonstrate the effect of aspirin in preventing cancer recurrence."

    I would suggest talking to your oncology team about anything you might take alongside chemotherapy there are a number of combinations that can make people quite unwell or just block the effect of the chemotherapy.
