Yes, I take a low-dose aspirin every day, as instructed by my oncologist.

There are good and bad things about any medicine, so please talk it over with your doctor.

If at some point, she or he thinks you don't need aspirin, please be sure to ask how to safely discontinue it.

Good question to discuss with your doc. I'm 70 and asked if I should continue aspirin at my check up in November. Doc said yes, research shows that it's very effective at preventing clots. She did say that I should only occasionally take Motrin and other analgesics with blood-thinning effects. So Tylenol is now my go-to for the weekly headaches and that vague flu-y feeling ET patients sometimes get in the afternoon/evening. I like Motrin better for arthritis/joint pain, but still try Tylenol first.
