Re: Side Effects of Ending Herceptin
I'm not sure exactly which vaccine he is talking about. He did say they are involved in two studies. One using a placebo against the vaccine and the other which he said he preferred for me using different dosages and additional agents added to increase the effectiveness. He said that you had to finished with the initial treatments and be disease free to qualify. He wasn't sure if the study was full or not. I will see him again on the 20th of this month and will learn more. I will be sure to share the info.
Thanks for you reply.
