Amelia,
You have to be no longer than 6 months out of treatment. Meaning chemo and herceptin. I just finished up my 6 vaccines. Tolerated them well, only had slight itching at the injection site for about three days after getting the injection. Praying I got the real thing. Best of luck to you getting in the trial you applied for. The one I was in is being conducted out of Walter Reed Hosp in D.C. They have seven sites in the US conducting the trial. The one I was on was using the AE37 and GP2 peptides and was a Phase II trial.
