Ladies "

We talked to Dr. Salazaar last night and the study is moving forward. She indicated that the ""Human Subjects"" arm of the study temporarily halted the study on the fear that the vaccine could cause your body's immune system to attack the her2 receptors in a patient's heart or other muscles of the body. Apparently" " her2 receptors are found throughtout the body in various types of cells (particularly the heart).

One of the main points of investigation is to test for heart toxicity. So the ""Human Subjects"" group wanted to insure that all participants met the MUGA scan criteria of the study to ensure that no patient with a weakened heart would be admitted to the study.

All said and done the study is to proceed as normal" however anyone not making the MUGA scan criteria in the future will be denied access to the study.
