Re: Phase II vaccine trial...looking for info

Esheelle, i called them today. my husband and i will go up there 1st of novemeber to meet with Dr emens when she returns from europe. I dont like shots or needles and still have my port so herceptin and blood work can be done thru that. can you message me about all the biopsy they do to your skin and all the shots you get.. i know there is 12 is that every month or jsut the first time> do you live in baltimore? just curious.
I have a cancer policy with AFLAC found out from my agent today they will pay my airfair ( from Louisville ky to baltimore) and my hotel and pay me for my treatments too. AFLAC was a life saver for us durin the last 2 yrs. sorry just had to talk about that blessing.
