aspirin

hi just heard on gmtv that they think aspirin now will give 20 percent chance of not getting breast cancer. as yet they don’t know how many need to take. i thought aspirin gave internal bleeds if taken regularly and stomach ulcers. i know my mum cant take aspirin at all as she has an ulcer. any one else heard this news and have any thoughts.

I saw it in The Times this morning. They also think it may reduce the risk of recurrence, but more research is needed.

I know I saw this too. I think I will ask Onc when I see him next…
