Hi Julie and all-

I'm in the UW trial, too. I've already had two vaccinations. So far so good. No problems. I commute from Chicago. Diagnosed Oct. 2003, stage IIIa with 2+ positive nodes. Completed chemo May 2004 (dose dense, AC/Taxol-- ), and radiation Aug. 2004. Started Herceptin as a single agent Nov. 2005 every 3 weeks. So far so good with that, as well. Had chills first infusion, but no problems since then.

I have found everyone to be extremely nice at UW, including the one male doctor who is on the team. Can't imagine him being anything but. Maybe it was someone else. Maybe just a miscommunication. But I certainly wouldn't be put off by that. I'm also happy to share any info with any of you.

Best all around-
Marcel
