Peggy H Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Hi, Kent! The information about Cox 2 inhibitors has been around awhile, the initial discovery was accidental & noted the effects of aspirin on folks who had a certain type of colon cancer & just happened to be taking aspirin for arthritis. There are many, many clinical trials going on right now using Celebrex in combination with chemo. We asked for a prescription for Celebrex for my sister's "arthritis", she's been taking it for over a year. It has virtually no side effects, has some beneficial additional anti-inflammatory/pain relief effect, not as hard on the stomach as aspirin, and, she figures, may help and can't hurt.
