Re: CNN Report Promising Cure Vaccine

One of the big problems we have at present is that we just don't know what works for which patients!
It seems to be becoming clear that there are many subsets of the disease possibly even within the her 2 component itself.I suspect that's why we have some stage 4 survivors that stay NED with the use of Vit h alone and why others need multiple lines of chemo.
I speculate that this may also be the case with the available current vaccines in that they may be effective for one and not for others.
I guess this follows on from the mystery of why some small early stage tumours become metastatic but conversely why some very large tumours appear to be 'cured'after initial treatment and don't recur.
Until we get to the bottom of these variables I guess it's trial, error and HOPE
