Re: Early study hints that (HER2+) vaccine might work
Ladies,
This is the vaccine that SandraGA is receiving. I am very encouraged by the news, but we still have a long way to go before approval.
You need to enroll in the trial within 6 months of finishing Herceptin or primary treatment.
Most need to travel to participate, but insurance may cover the costs.
I strongly encourage participation in the vaccine trials. We are transitioning from the slash/poison/burn mentality to a focus on prevention. I am sure after all our experiences with cancer treatment that we collectively do not want another to suffer through what we experienced.
