In Dec. I was turned down for the U of W vaccine trial Stephn mentioned. I believe they have 2 or 3 others shorter vaccine trials where they want to track active cancer. From what I remember you only have to travel to u of W maybe four times.

Here is their contact information. Nicole is really nice, Nicole Bates" <nbates@u.washington.edu>

I was turned down because my Muga was 48 and the lowest they will take is 50.

Hope this is helpful. Hang in there.
