I not aware of using aspirin being used for colon cancer treatment. Could potentially be dangerous as a lot of chemo drugs can significantly decrease your platelet count. Add a drug that inhibits platelet aggregation could lead to disaster.
Aspirin is used for reducing the risk of strokes and myocardial infarction.

Aspirin is an anti coagulant. It’s used to keep the blood thin, however, if you are being treated for colon cancer, should you be taking aspirin? Only because of the bleeding that could occur while on it. Did your Dr advise you take it? It’s also not good if you have small ulcers on your colon or in your stomach. Then the aspirin will cause terrible stomach upset. I’m really curious to know if your Dr told you to take it or if you’re asking for yourself? Good luck and I wish you the best.

I take a baby aspirin a day, as approved by my dr. I was not permitted, however, to take an aspirin product before my brain surgery or following, to reduce the risk of bleeding. It can be beneficial during chemo treatments, as some can cause blood clots.
