A MULTI-PURPOSE DRUG?

Playing with Cash
2010
Okay, so here is a drug to ponder upon, harass your doc about, and remember.  It is one of a class of pain killer drugs known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory – NSAID in shortened med-speak.  The name of the stuff is Diclofenac, and it is prescribed for arthritic pain, post-op pain, migraines, etc.  Note prescribed; you can’t buy it over the counter.  There exists some evidence that it not only helps prevent cancer (as do asprin and other NSAIDs), but also is somewhat effective as therapy against existing cancer, especially the metastatic kind.  Ovarian is mentioned explicitly.  So, if your primary care physician is pen-in-hand over a prescription form, ask him/her about Diclofenac.



Not a panacea, for sure, but maybe it will help.
