Thanks, Steph...

** I've never had blood work or tumor markers, so don't know

** Haven't looked into vaccine trials in the last 12-18 months--I robably should read through them again.

** I still teach spin (indoor group cycling), so exercise isn't an issue

** I take vitamins; and I am trying to eat better -- still love junk food :-)

I was hoping that there was some new magical follow up med that popped up since I have been active on this board...one can dream!!!
