Cancer touches our lives at some point. We know some one or many, over time, that have dealt or will deal with some form of cancer. Breast cancer may have a nemesis in the common low dosage of aspirin (81mg). Men have been taking low dose aspirin for heart issues. A new study suggests low dose aspirin has beneficial qualities for women who have survived breast cancer. Fly fishing? Well, if you want peace of mind for yourself or for a loved one: the aspirin may be of great help. Hence, peace of mind may allow you to enjoy fly fishing as a pursuit rather than just as an escape during mentally crushing times.

“A new study has found that aspirin may help in the fight against breast cancer.

A study published by the Journal of Clinical Oncology and conducted by Harvard University found “among women living at least 1 year after a breast cancer diagnosis, aspirin use was associated with a decreased risk of distant recurrence and breast cancer death.”

The conclusion was based on the responses of 4,164 registered nurses who were diagnosed with stages I, II or III breast cancer between 1976 and 2002.

According to the study, an aspirin at least two days per week reduced the risk of death from breast cancer by 64 to 71 percent.”

Spread the word that there are possible additional side benefits for women in taking low dose aspirin, especially for breast cancer survivors.
