OMG! @"~Millie~" That is SO interesting with all that aspirin info - tho you DO have to be very careful of not developing stomach bleeds! My brother was on 1/2tab for years (to try & prevent stroke/heart attack - the bane of our family - our dad died at 51 after having his first major heart attack at 40 - I am the only family member who's had cancer!) and my brother ended up with a stomach bleed & now needs regular uppies & downies (NEVER pleasant!)
Tho obviously, the baby dose would be a way lesser strength than 1/2 a full one. (And 3 times a week would NOT be considered excessive I am thinking - and a double bonus if it actually reduces the risk of BC!)
Good find!! I reckon a few of us will be following up on your research!! Sometimes Australia can be a tad 'behind' on some research as we just don't have the population stats for lots of tests etc (compared to UK, where London alone has the same population as the whole of Australia!) Tho in some areas, we are world leaders in research!
I just figured it was a compromise to try the tabs for at least a year or so (if I can put up with them!) - but sadly, there is still a % of us who will go on to develop Mets anyway, no matter how proactive we have been in surgery, chemo, rads & tabs ..... it really is a lottery.
All the best with your decision making xxx I am off to research your links! ;)
