Hi Steph!

Thank you so much for replying. I'm new on this forum and desperate to hear how those who have participated in the Seattle Her2 study have fared. Obviously, it will be a huge investment of time, travel, and $$$. I have been advised against vaccine trials by 2 oncologists in Atlanta. I have been told that Emory Univ. (in my town) will be getting the TDM-1 + Herceptin trial w/in the next few months & encouraged to participate in that trial once it is here. Plus, I've been advised to do a Navelbine + Herceptin + 50/50 chance of Everolimus trial until the TDM-1 trial gets started. I'd prefer to go the vaccine route & forgo the toxic chemicals, if possible (as long as I hear success in these vaccine trials). I'll try to contact Schoolteacher. Thanks! And if I do come to Seattle, I'd very much enjoy meeting you!

Cheers!
Ann
