Re: Mayo Clinic Vaccine Trial MUC1/Neuvax

lizbeth,

Please keep me posted. I have been wondering about these her2 pos vaccines...don't know how safe they are. Are they only for women who have not been dx'd with bc or are they targeted to stop her2 pos in women like us?

Thanks,
Dianne (PS-what do you fly? My dad was a pilot for 40+ years -non commercial.)
